It’s going to go down rapidly thanks to IR35 and high taxes driving specialists away. That, and also Brexit. (not that it is anything wrong about high tax – it is wrong when you pay and you feel getting mugged because of misspending and poor service).
The UK no longer has any competitive advantage. No point setting up in the UK if you can incorporate in the US – pay much less tax while receiving better services and still able to hire remotely from around the world.
Will the future just be subscription models for everything? Like will ms excel charge me by the number of cut and pastes or outlook on the number of emails.
