The managed services industry is rapidly evolving toward "MSP 3.0," moving beyond traditional break-fix support and proactive monitoring. In this new phase, MSPs help clients achieve business outcomes through advanced automation, integrated technology ecosystems and consultative partnerships that deliver strategic value. This is driving explosive market growth, with global revenue projected to reach $595 billion by 2025 and nearly $800 billion by 2033. For executives navigating this landscape, understanding the forces reshaping the MSP ecosystem is essential for survival and competitive advantage. 

Today's service providers face a key inflection point. As buying behaviors evolve, technology stacks grow more sophisticated, and industry consolidation accelerates, the traditional MSP model is giving way to more specialized, security-focused approaches.
