The global social services market is valued at around $3 trillion in 2017 due to increasing government funding for developing nations and increasing number of women employees.

China was the largest country in the social services market in 2017, accounting for one-fifth of the market share. This was due to a large number of educational institutions, child day care centers and other social service establishments catering to a large population in the country.
