Global Resources Reviews Growing Industries in the New Year

CHICAGO - Jan. 30, 2017 - PRLog -- Global Resources is a full-service business development group and general management consulting firm focused on helping small and medium-size businesses maintain positive cash flow, control costs and accelerate profitable growth, allowing business leaders  to make the most of their work and their lives.

As authorities in the industry, we like to know everything that involves small business. As we look ahead into 2017, we look to some of the growing industries in the business arena:

• Telehealth services - The telehealth services industry refers to companies that use digital technology to deliver medical services and health education, primarily videoconference consultations, remote patient monitoring, and "store-and-forward" technologies that transmit digital images like X-rays, scans, and video clips. Technological advancements in medicine and telecommunications will drive growth in the sector, as will the rise of wearable self-monitoring devices.


• Motion capture software developers - The motion capture software developers industry comprises businesses that record and pull data from live-action performances to produce 3-D recreations. During the past five years, industry revenue has grown at an average annual rate of 53 percent to $1.2 billion. Demand comes primarily from video game developers and the film, television, and live entertainment industries. As the technology becomes less expensive, revenue is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 43 percent, reaching $7.4 billion by 2019.


• Medical marijuana stores - Medical marijuana stores are expected to see increased demand in the next few years due to the aging population and the growing acceptance of medical marijuana products as treatments for chronic illnesses. Part of the growth should come directly from the increasing popularity of edible products, which will reportedly help industry revenue reach $8.4 billion by 2019. The number of businesses in the sector also is expected to rise nearly 20 percent per year during the next five years, bringing the total number of operators to more than 8,000.
