ArcBlue releases the Asia CPO Insights: Procurement Maturity Report 2024, providing insights into procurement function maturity in the region.

In early 2024, ArcBlue surveyed Chief Procurement Officers across Asia to understand how they perceive the maturity, strengths and weaknesses of their procurement operating model. They have now released the Asia CPO Insights: Procurement Maturity Report 2024, which details the survey results and provides readers with an understanding of the self-perceived maturity of procurement functions across Asia.

The report contains a comprehensive overview of the survey results as well as insights into current dynamics within the Asian business landscape. Surveys were completed by CPO's from Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Brunei, UAE, India, Japan and China. Participants were representing organizations working in Construction, Wholesale, Manufacturing, Retail, Health Services, Oil & Gas, Technology, Telecommunications, FMCG, Airports and Aviation, Pharmaceuticals, Finance, Farming and Government organizations.

In today's dynamic business landscape, procurement functions encounter a myriad of challenges. These hurdles include supply chain disruptions, talent shortages, evolving customer expectations, climate crises, and rapid technological advancements. Procurement as a function now matters more than ever, and since 2013, procurement consultancy ArcBlue has been supporting organizations across Asia pacific to measure and advance their procurement maturity. As a part of these efforts, ArcBlue designed the CPO Insights Asia Survey to help procurement leaders assess their maturity and build a roadmap for change.

The survey questions were structured around the ArcBlue 9 Dimensions of Procurement Excellence which include; Leadership & Influence, People & Skills, Organization, Process & Governance, Value Realization & Results, Category Management, Technology, Sustainability and Supplier Management. The self-assessment then provided a maturity level score for each dimension, placing them into the categories of Emergent, Developing, Advanced or Leading categories.

The report contains interviews of survey participants from Uber, Novartis, Gamuda and FGV Holdings Berhad who reflect on their strengths and challenges in relation to procurement maturity. They also provide their key insights into what elements breed success in procurement functions.

Some key insights include:
- 63% feel they are seen as a 'best practice' function and thought leaders
- 59% actively shape and influence strategic organizational decisions
- 44% feel they can successfully attract top procurement talent
- 58% have sufficient resources to effectively deliver against organizational objectives
- 63% of CPO's are effectively tracking and measuring procurement savings and their contribution to business value
