Designed to be one of the most ambitious pieces of industry research ever conducted on the field of professional coaching, a primary goal of the 2102 ICF Global Study was to engage with as many coaches as possible on a worldwide basis, thus providing an up-to-date picture of the profession to help meet the challenges ahead. Available in nine languages and accessible through multiple mobile devices, the 2012 results were generated from more than 12,000 respondents in 117 different countries. The Executive Summary report is available now at no charge on the ICF web site.

In late 2006, the ICF commissioned the first global industry study to provide a baseline picture of the profession; to identify what coaches saw as the major challenges; and to estimate the size of the profession.
Since then, the landscape of professional coaching has evolved in terms of the number of professional coaches worldwide, global revenue, and perhaps even the demographic profile of the coach.

Following a sharp slowdown in 2008, global output fell in 2009 and subsequent economic recovery has been tentative. Nonetheless, the coaching profession appears to have continued its expansion growing to a global total of 47,500 professional coaches generating near US $2.0 Billion in revenue. Overall, the positive balances in the trend indicators clearly point to a profession that is continuing to grow through difficult economic times.
