Industry Pulse Surveys

The KPMG Industry Pulse survey series, in conjunction with Forbes Insights, captures the views of nearly 1,300 executives in 13 sectors on current and emerging business conditions, challenges, and opportunities.

The sectors include banking, insurance, investment management, real estate, food & beverage, retail, chemicals, pharmaceutical, aerospace & defense, automotive, private equity, technology, and communications & media.
