Increased Preference for Cloud Deployment Models to Fuel Growth of SaaS-Based SCM Market

Direct IT control, real-time supply chain tracking, faster data processing, and the cost-effectiveness of cloud deployment are just a few of the factors expected to drive market growth. The growing demand for cloud-based software across industries propels the SaaS-based SCM market. The cloud-based SCM software provides several advantages over cloud SCM vendors working on upgrading their portfolio, which is expected to lower the costs of the solutions. For instance, in January 2021, SIEMENS, IBM, and Red Hat launched a hybrid cloud initiative to boost the value of industrial supply chain management data in real-time. Moreover, factors such as increased cloud SCM adoption among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), increased demand for low initial investment, and the development of cloud SCM in the e-commerce industry provide lucrative opportunities for the market. It provides several benefits to organizations such as faster deployment, lower risk, greater flexibility, less demand on IT, increased visibility, and others, all of which are positively impacting the growth of the SaaS-based SCM market.

Furthermore, there is a high demand for online shopping in a variety of industries, requiring food and beverage, manufacturing, and logistics companies to increase their investments in automation, including supply chain automation. As a result, the market is expanding. A number of industries have been affected by this outbreak, and maintaining complex supply chain networks is becoming difficult for them, which is expected to drive demand for SaaS-based SCM. According to a survey conducted by the "Institute for Supply Chain Management Organisation" in March 2020, nearly 75% of the companies reported global SCM disruptions in one form or another as a result of the corona virus-related transportation restrictions, and this is expected to increase in the coming weeks. Following the severe disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses around the world are expected to review their supply chain strategies in order to become more resilient, collaborative, and coordinated with clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders. To accomplish this, they will increase investment in SaaS-based SCM, which is expected to be beneficial to market growth.

Increasing Transportation and Logistics Spending in North America to Drive Growth SaaS-Based SCM Market

This region's transportation and logistics industry are large and competitive, and it includes distinct industries such as shipping, railroads, and air services.

Growth in demand for cloud-based software across numerous industries is driving the US market. Cloud-based supply chain management software has various advantages over on-premise supply chain management software. Since it offers pay-per-use licensing and requires no IT setup, businesses are turning to cloud SCM to cut operating costs and modernize operations. For instance, Blue Yonder, Inc. offers the Luminate Platform, which enables global businesses to maximize the value of their data by integrating, processing, and acting at scale throughout their supply chains. Their Luminate Platform provides a single, end-to-end view of your company, allowing you to plan ahead of time and provide world-class client experiences.

In 2021, Investcorp signed definitive agreements to invest in Linkedcare, China's leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and supply chain management provider for the country's rapidly expanding dental and medical aesthetics industries. Moreover, in Japan, Druva Inc. has launched its Managed Service Provider (MSP) program.
