Arlington, VA February 7, 2020/PRWEB/ — Leading research and advisory firm FRANdata provided its annual industry forecast for economic growth to the International Franchise Association (IFA) last week. The report predicts the franchise industry will continue to ride the economic boom in 2020.
“We forecast that most franchise businesses will sustain robust growth in 2020, especially in the personal services, quick service and full-service restaurant segments,” Says Darrell Johnson, CEO of FRANdata. “Franchising will continue to play a major role as a driver for growth in our economy.”
Franchise businesses especially influence state economies through job creation, promotion of output, and GDP contribution. According to the report, the states that will see the most franchise establishments and employment growth in 2020 ranked in order are: Texas, Colorado, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Nevada. Overall, franchise business development will continue to increase in the South and West due to growing populations, state-level economic policies and favorable business tax climates.
“The franchise industry continues to pride itself on its positive impacts on communities across America.” Said Robert Cresanti, IFA’s President and CEO. “We are very excited to showcase these opportunities in our annual Economic Outlook Report. Locally-owned franchises are America’s hidden small businesses and this new report demonstrates their impact nationwide and, in every state.”
In order to fully study the total impact of franchising to the economy, FRANdata examined macroeconomic trends and the historical performance of all franchise brands operating in the United States, over a ten-year period and across all major industries. For state level franchising activity, FRANdata analysts calculated each state’s franchise establishments, employment, and output for a 3-year and estimated each state’s contributions to the franchise industry for 2019 and forecasted for 2020.
