The custom integration industry is no longer defined by rapid expansion or contraction. It is defined by professional maturity.
The 2026 CE Pro State of the Industry report provides an unfiltered, data-backed look at how integration firms are operating today—financially, structurally, and strategically—during a period of cautious optimism and recalibration.
Built on CE Pro’s most comprehensive annual research, this whitepaper goes beyond topline sentiment to examine how integrators are adapting their businesses, redefining success, and prioritizing investments in people, processes, and technology.
Inside the report:
-
Revenue trends, project size data, and market stability indicators
-
How integrators are adjusting staffing, compensation, and business models
-
Category performance across lighting, networking, power, security, and entertainment
-
Where confidence is returning and where uncertainty still shapes decision making
-
What “professional maturity” actually looks like in today’s integration firms
Rather than predicting the next boom, this State of the Industry report explains how integrators are building resilience, improving operational discipline, and positioning themselves for sustainable growth in a more demanding market.
