CPQ International Coaching Landscape Report 2026 — Public Baseline Edition
A published public baseline edition presenting methodology, external verification and a clear distinction between confirmed material and data still being collected.
1 Mandatory methodological note
Document basis: CPQ corporate files and diploma cards, the book “Discover Your Professional Path in Coaching”, the book “The Ethics of Coaching Practice”, and CPQ published professional content. Any numeric or procedural provision adopted in this edition is a CPQ internal policy and is not a claim of accreditation or recognition by any other body.
This is not a completed international market study. The current figures in the sources are CPQ internal data and cannot estimate the size of the international market, the prevalence of practitioners, income or pricing. This document is a baseline and a design for the next research phase.

3 The international survey required
The target sample covers coaching practitioners across multiple countries and regions internationally. The survey collects: country, experience, specialisation, client type, practice hours, delivery model, education/credential, optional fee/income bands, organisational demand, digital tools, top challenges, and a twelve-month outlook.
4 Final-report rules
Show n for every table.
Suppress small cells that could identify individuals.
Present country- or region-level results only where sample size permits.
Explain the recruitment method because it affects representativeness.
Do not claim a convenience sample represents the whole market.
Publish limitations before recommendations.
