Component-wise, software accounts for over 55% of revenue, reflecting vendor shift toward SaaS-based platforms with embedded analytics, mobile approvals, and compliance enforcement. Services—including implementation, integration, and managed offerings—grow alongside software, particularly among SMEs requiring packaged deployment. Deployment analyses reveal cloud-based solutions dominate adoption due to scalability, low capex, and ongoing upgrades; on-premises systems, however, retain usage in highly regulated industries such as healthcare and government.
Enterprise-size segmentation shows large enterprises lead procurement software uptake through global rollouts and multi-army ERP integration. SMEs are rapidly embracing cloud-based P2P solutions, valued for their ease of deployment and lower TCO. This shift presents opportunities for value chain optimization as vendors deliver modular pricing tiers based on procurement volume and regional compliance.
End-use segmentation shows manufacturing and BFSI leading uptake due to large transaction volumes and regulatory oversight, collectively accounting for ~50% of spend. Retail and healthcare follow, driven by inventory procurement and cost containment needs. Notably, IT & telecom markets are experiencing application-specific growth, leveraging P2P solutions for hardware procurement and vendor governance in multi-supplier ecosystems.
Segment-wise performance analysis shows that cloud software in manufacturing and BFSI is growing at ~8–9% CAGR through 2034, outpacing global average. SME segments see double-digit growth due to flexible subscriptions. Public sector adoption trails but is accelerating under e-procurement mandates. Integration of ESG scoring and social compliance mapping—especially in retail and manufacturing supply chains—supports product differentiation and value chain integration.
Competitive landscape:
- SAP SE
- Oracle Corporation
- Coupa Software Inc.
- Jaggaer LLC
- Basware Corporation
Primary drivers include regulatory pressure for transparency, cost control mandates, digitization initiatives, and integration of procurement with finance and ERP systems. Technological enablers such as mobile responsive approvals, AI-powered spend analytics, blockchain-based invoice verification, and API integrations with tax engines are enabling automation and boosting solution adoption.

Key restraints are integration complexity, the persistence of legacy invoice handling, staff resistance to change, and data privacy requirements—particularly in finance and healthcare sectors. Pricing models based on per invoice or vendor models may deter SMEs with fluctuating procurement volumes.
Opportunities lie in bundling solutions—combining e-invoicing, dynamic discounting, supplier finance, contract compliance, and ESG analytics—through subscription pricing. Vendors can develop vertical-specific modules (e.g., healthcare-enabled procurement scanning, manufacturing BOM sourcing, retail omni-channel supplier catalogs). Expanding into emerging markets through localized pricing, remote onboarding, and regional partnerships presents further upside.
Market trends include adoption of mobile-first P2P interfaces, integration with spend analytics and predictive AI, demand for ESG-compliant procurement insights, and growth of cloud-native modular platforms. The shift toward outcome-based pricing—where cost savings share with vendors—is emerging as a value driver. Collaboration between procurement and accounts payable functions is increasing, driving unified ordering-to-payment workflows.
In conclusion, a segmentation-led view reveals clear pockets of application-specific growth, product differentiation through cloud, ESG, and analytics, and significant value chain optimization opportunities. Vendors tailoring offerings by component, deployment mode, enterprise size, and industry vertical will capture the bulk of market expansion through 2034.
