What's Inside the Global Coaching Study?
Section 1: Covers Buyer Reality
How Coaching Buyers Actually Think, Search, and Decide
Most people looking for a coach are not browsing casually. They are searching because something in their life, career, or business has reached a breaking point.
The study shows that:
Over 80 percent of buyers want to start coaching immediately
Most buyers feel confused but highly motivated
Speed and clarity matter more than inspiration or credentials
This section breaks down real buyer behavior, including:
What triggers someone to look for a coach
Why urgency and confusion exist at the same time
How buyers move from search to decision faster than most coaches expect
For coaches and consultants, this answers the most important question:
When someone is ready to buy, what are they actually responding to?
Section 2: Covers What Buyers Want (and Pay For)
Demand Patterns Across Coaching Niches, Use Cases, and Demographics
This section analyzes eight major coaching verticals, each with its own demand profile, urgency level, and buying logic.
Inside, you’ll see:
What clients say they want versus what they actually pay for
The specific problems buyers will pay to solve immediately
Secondary needs that matter later but do not drive fast decisions
Income and location patterns that determine willingness to pay
You’ll also see how demand differs across:
Life, career, executive, business, relationship, ADHD, and other coaching categories
First-time buyers versus previously coached clients
High-income versus mid-income segments
For practitioners, this section helps you stop guessing and start aligning your offers with real demand, real urgency, and real budgets.

Section 3: Covers How to Use the Data
What This Means for Your Positioning, Offers, and Growth in 2026
This section turns insight into action.
Based on buyer behavior and demand signals, the study outlines:
Why "credentials" rarely influence buying decisions
Why buyers respond to outcomes, artifacts, and timelines instead of sessions
How speed, clarity, and specificity outperform polish and content
What high-intent buyers expect to see before they commit
You’ll also find practical takeaways for:
Positioning your coaching clearly
Designing offers that match buyer readiness
Avoiding common mistakes that kill conversions
Understanding where the market is heading into 2026
This section answers the final question every coach and consultant cares about:
How do I use this to make better decisions and grow more effectively?

I'm so happy I took this step. Noomii is here to really support us and help us build successful coaching businesses. I'm truly excited for all other perks I haven't tried yet (the full CRM, the sales training calls, etc.). If you are on the fence for upgrading, I highly recommend it.
Executive & Business Coach
Partnering with Noomii has been one of the best decisions of my professional coaching career. Their level of support is unmatched, and the resources they provide go far beyond what I expected. The results speak for themselves: in my first six weeks, I signed three new clients—and it’s never felt so straightforward and achievable.
Career & Life Coach
The recent changes at Noomii have made the experience even better, like "smart match" so I am automatically matched with potential clients. Things like being able to post articles on Noomii that back link to my website, is just one way Noomii seeks to partner with me to grow my own coaching practice. Noomii has been instrumental in my ability to take my business to a six figure income. Looking forward to many more great things to come from Noomii.

Who put this study together?
The Coaching Demand Global Study (2026) was produced by the team at Noomii, the world’s largest global coaching marketplace. It was developed by analyzing real buyer behavior from people actively searching for and requesting coaching, not survey panels or theoretical models.
Is this reliable data or just opinions?
This study is based on revealed behavior, not self-reported intent. The data comes from thousands of prospective clients who were actively seeking coaching, completing intake forms, and taking real steps toward hiring. It reflects what people actually do when they are ready to buy, which is far more reliable than what they say in surveys.
Who is this study for?
The study is designed for professional coaches, online coaches, consultants, coaching platforms, and organizations that want a clearer understanding of demand, buyer behavior, and market direction. If your work depends on attracting or serving coaching clients, this study is relevant.
