This industry provides consulting, design, feasibility studies and technical services for a variety of projects that require a deep understanding of the principles of engineering. Prior to the five years to 2022, industry revenue reached an all-time high in 2014 as increased corporate profit fuelled greater investment in nonresidential construction.

Revenue for the Canadian New Car Dealers industry in Canada is expected to expand, albeit marginally, over the five years to 2022. While demand for automobiles has been driven by healthy economic conditions during most of the period, such as rising consumer confidence and low unemployment, the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has caused the reversal of many of these trends.
