How much do US companies typically invest in design?

Most U.S. B2B companies allocate 5-15% of revenue to design, UX, and marketing combined. For example, a company earning $60,000 annually may invest $3,000-$9,000 in these areas.

The returns can be massive: one study found $1 invested in UX returned ~$100 (a 9,900% ROI).

Which industries most commonly use design services in the US?

Design firms serve all sectors, but demand is especially high in tech-driven and trust-sensitive fields:

  • Financial services: Improve digital experiences and support compliance across banking, fintech, and insurance platforms.
