Furthermore, the strategic sourcing service providers have expertise in various sourcing activities and offer procurement as a service market to the enterprises for streamlining their sourcing operations. Moreover, it involves regular reporting of spending patterns within each category, which allows an organization to maintain the latest information on spending.

Increasing Awareness among the Enterprises Regarding the Use of Procurement as a Service Drives the Market Growth

SMEs are the fastest-growing segment in the adoption of procurement as a service due to increasing awareness among the enterprises regarding the use of procurement as a service to eliminate the expenditure associated with technology deployment and staff contracts. Furthermore, large enterprises are adopting procurement as a service to reduce operational costs and eliminate their complexities. Additionally, the prime factor that leads to the surge in adoption of procurement as a service is the increase in efficiency and productivity. However, integration issues with legacy systems hinder the market growth.

Manufacturing Segment Is Anticipated to Witness Growth during the Forecast Period

The manufacturing segment is anticipated to witness growth during the forecast period on account of the growing demand for cost-effectiveness in the supply chain and the need for shorter production times. Furthermore, increasing investment to upgrade the infrastructure services to enhance efficiency and productivity and meet the increasing demand of customers in a shorter time drives the market growth. For instance, in March 2020, CHENIERE ENERGY, INC., The United States' largest LNG Exporter has implemented GEP procurement software to drive optimum efficiency, agility, visibility, and actionable intelligence into all procurement and purchasing functions, while eliminating burdensome infrastructure and support costs, to achieve maximum ROI.

Impact of COVID-19

COVID-19 has affected millions of businesses and disrupted the supply chains, right from the SMEs, to the multi-billion dollar large enterprises; all have taken a major setback in their businesses. At a time like this, procurement professionals are facing the brunt of their management for getting the supply chains up and running, despite the lockdowns and disruptions in logistics. As result, vendors providing logistics and transportation services, or a vendor supplying medical utilities, take up the advantage of this situation and surge their pricing. However, vendors offering procurement services have taken some of the initiatives amid COVID-19 to respond effectively to immediate and post-pandemic world challenges. This includes;

In March 2020, GEP, a leading provider of procurement and supply chain strategy, software, and managed services, introduced a free platform and service to connect health care providers, beginning with hospitals in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, with personal protective equipment (PPE) suppliers. This service combines an online portal with the company's procurement and supply chain specialists for suppliers, manufacturers, and healthcare providers.

Moreover, the presence of a large number of giant companies offering procurement as a service is also one of the factors propelling market growth.
