Growth Company Research Results 2025

In this research, conducted during our Growth Company Retreat, we asked leaders of high-growth and fast-growing businesses about the challenges and opportunities they are facing this year, as well as their most likely exit routes.

Key findings from Criticaleye's Growth Company Research:

  • New technology, including AI and machine learning, is the top priority for leaders in 2025
  • 48 percent expect to conduct M&A over the next 12 months
  • Only 41 percent of leaders are highly confident in delivering shareholder value over the next twelve months
  • Geopolitical risks are the top external force sparking Boardroom debate at 33 percent
  • The main reason senior leadership teams become too focused on short-term goals is the pressure to provide returns to investors and shareholders
