Middle market organizations form the backbone of the real economy, occupying a space that’s too large to be considered small, often lacking the scale of enterprise giants. In our current climate, these firms remain essential drivers of innovation, job creation, and economic resilience. Despite ongoing pressures, the U.S. middle market continues on a path of cautious growth, even as companies grapple with elevated inflation, persistent labor shortages, and a rapidly shifting technology landscape.

​

Cybersecurity remains a top concern for middle market leaders. The frequency and sophistication of cyber threats have grown, fueled by geopolitical instability, heightened data privacy regulations, and the expansion of AI-driven attacks.  According to recent industry reports, over 60% of middle market executives cite cybersecurity as a major risk to their operations and growth plans.

​

Supply chain disruption also continues to pose significant challenges. Whether due to geopolitical tensions, regulatory shifts, or lingering logistical bottlenecks, middle market firms across sectors, from technology to manufacturing, face operational hurdles that demand agile, innovative solutions. Technology adoption and process optimization are increasingly essential for navigating these complexities.

​

The labor market remains tight, even in a mixed economic environment. The National Center for the Middle Market’s latest data indicates that more than half of middle market firms still struggle to find and hire employees with the right skills. While hiring intentions remain strong, companies are being forced to compete fiercely for specialized talent, particularly in sectors like healthcare, IT, cybersecurity, and digital transformation. As a result, many firms report employee burnout and productivity strains as they try to cover workforce gaps.
