After weathering a year filled with business closures and unique challenges, the outlook for franchising in 2021 is bright, particularly for franchises in the residential and services sector, like Creative Colors International Inc. Bolstered by the rollout of vaccines and government aid programs, the franchising industry is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2021, according to a report by the International Franchise Association, the leading advocate for the franchise community. IFA predicts the gross domestic product of the industry will increase 7 percent to $477 billion, and franchise business output will rise 16.4 percent, to $780 billion. Franchisees conquered the challenging year by pivoting their business models to offer virtual services, curbside pickup and delivery, and many launched new products to generate sales.
