Deloitte Defining the Family Business Landscape 2025 Report
Methodology – To create this dataset, over 200,000 companies globally were analyzed, using proprietary data sources that provide extensive financial and ownership information. Where necessary, this proprietary data was cross-checked and enriched against publicly available financial reports, investor relation documents, and reputable financial media sources. It was then applied to wider calculations to estimate the market more widely. For the historical data for 2020, sector-specific growth rates were applied, derived from proprietary data and historical trends, to reverse-engine 2025 company data back to 2020. For the forecasted data, five year moving average growth rates were applied by sector and market, reflecting historical trends. Then, macroeconomic indicators (e.g., GDP growth, inflation, commodity prices) were factored in to adjust growth rates accordingly. Furthermore, to be included as a family business, a single family must control the vote, sit within the executive leadership/board, and own a 51%+ stake if it is a private business or a 25%+ stake if it is a public business. All businesses globally includes both family and non-family businesses that can be either public or private.
