This 32-page issue of EBJ provides a snapshot of the $22-billion Environmental Consulting & Engineering industry with the latest market data by EBJ, interviews with more than 25 C&E executives and other sources.

Economic growth has been the single most important influence to the environmental industry in recent years. Environmental regulations have not been ruled out as a market driver, but they are no longer treated as an obstacle to economic development, and compliance with the regulations is now an essential part of the economic activities such as real estate development, infrastructure planning and general construction.
As the economic recovery continues, the environmental consulting & engineering market experienced a modest growth in 2004. EBJ learned that the smaller niche players in particular did exceptionally well. This issue of EBJ features the annual C&E market analysis, with freshly collected market data and profiles of firms that share their keys to their success.

The US environmental consulting & engineering market is increasingly more dependent on infrastructure upgrades and economic development by states and cities. But the businesses tied to economic development are also susceptible to economic downturns.

Will the US economic recovery bring back the robust C&E market this year?
