Ambition under pressure: Key insights from the 2026 Family Business Barometer survey
The 2026 Family Business Barometer shows a sector that remains ambitious, resilient and committed to long-term success, despite rising costs, compliance pressures and economic uncertainty.
While pressure on margins and management capacity continues to increase, family businesses are still looking ahead. Many are focused on protecting family wealth and legacy, entering new markets, developing future leaders and investing in technology.
The findings highlight the need for policies and support that recognise the unique dynamics of family businesses, enterprises and family offices, helping them turn long-term ambition into action.
