The increasing investment in warehouses by e-commerce service providers is notably driving the market growth, although the high initial cost and availability of open-source software may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Increasing investment in warehouses by e-commerce service providers is notably driving the supply chain management software market growth. E-commerce service providers have set up warehouses to manage inventory and shipping. The introduction of supply chain management(SCM) software, such as WMS software, helps end users save time and improve the process of checking inventory and new shipments on a daily and monthly basis. E-commerce service providers need inventory management software to improve the accuracy of incoming and outgoing inventory calculations.
Increased warehouse construction by e-commerce service providers will drive WMS adoption. Some examples related to investing in storage facilities include Walmart investing USD 1.2 billion in its Chinese supply chain to modernize its logistics. Growth in the global e-commerce market will increase investment in warehouses and drive the growth of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) Software Market during the forecast period.
The adoption of big data analytics and IoT is a key trend influencing the supply chain management software market growth. IoT and big data help end-user industries such as healthcare, retail, manufacturing, financial services, banking and insurance, education, transportation, SCM, logistics, and agriculture to analyze and improve operational efficiency. IoT devices and connected sensors are increasingly being implemented in the supply chain and logistics industries to enable operational efficiency and real-time tracking. Big data analytics can manage the large amount of information generated by IoT devices in the SCM system. Massive amounts of data collected by sensors can be analyzed in real-time to make informed decisions and derive solutions that help in improving operations. IoT, in conjunction with big data analytics, can help companies improve operational efficiency.
Several logistics service providers have implemented big data and IoT in their SCM systems. Integrating digital twins and supply chain solutions minimizes human interaction with systems through machine-to-machine communication, enabling efficient monitoring and management of warehouse operations. Increasing integration of IoT and big data will have a positive impact on the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The high initial cost and availability of open-source software are challenging the supply chain management software market growth. The rising costs of SCM software solutions can be attributed to software licensing, installation, maintenance, hardware, customization, and training costs. Controlling and monitoring ongoing transportation and logistics activities outweighs the high cost of installing data collection devices in transportation vehicles and IT infrastructure. Because of this, problems are faced by various stakeholders. For example, implementing SCM software requires IT staff to be trained with skills related to administration and staff dedicated to operations. Once implemented, the SCM solution needs to be updated regularly to keep up with current market trends and integrate with advanced technologies such as big data and blockchain. These factors increase the cost of implementing and maintaining SCM solutions. The availability of open-source software solutions such as Odoo, OpenBoxes, xTuple, OpenLMIS, and Sellsy pose challenges to the various vendors operating in the global SCM software market.
The majority of end users use SCM software solution which is open source as it does not require a large investment. However, such solutions have only basic functions and cannot cope with complex tasks, so they are suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises that do not have a heavy task load. Such factors will limit the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.

North America is estimated to contribute 34% to the growth of the global supply chain management software market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
North America offers the greatest growth opportunity for SCM providers due to the increasing implementation of automation technologies in logistics and supply chains. The availability of advanced network communication infrastructure and a well-developed ecosystem of connected devices facilitates the implementation of automation technologies in this region. Some end-users in the logistics and supply chain industry in the region have already adopted advanced technologies such as IoT, machine learning, predictive analytics, and artificial intelligence that enable the effective implementation of intelligent solutions. The region has seen large vehicle movements across a variety of industries, including retail, oil and gas, and construction. In addition, growth in cross-border trade between the United States and Canada and between the United States and Mexico has also increased fleet movements. For this reason, fleet managers and owners can focus on implementing a fleet management system to optimize their operational cycles. As fleet management system adoption grows, buyers will integrate their IoT devices, wireless connectivity solutions, and SCM software to efficiently manage operations.
In 2020, COVID-19 adversely affected the economies of various countries in the region. Sales declined due to the implementation of lockdowns and the closure of local operations by companies. Supply chains were disrupted, and manufacturers from across the world also faced raw material shortages. This situation created a need for SCM software as it can make it easier for companies to manage their supply chains. Hence, the demand for SCM software increased in 2020. In 2021, measures to reduce the risk of outbreaks and vaccination campaigns have reduced the impact and curbed the spread of COVID-19. The pandemic accelerated technology adoption, and supply chain software vendors capitalized on this trend, including developing new solutions leveraging emerging technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and IoT. The pandemic also highlighted the importance of collaboration and partnerships. Supply chain software companies worked with partners to develop solutions to meet the challenges of the pandemic and help restore global supply chains. Therefore, the market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
