Executive Summary
Supply chain sustainability is becoming an increasingly important consideration for firms when managing risk, in order to address external and regulatory pressures. To improve supply chain data collection and transparency, Verdantix predicts that firms will increase their spend on supply chain software solutions to nearly $4.3 billion in 2027, at a CAGR of 28% (see Verdantix Market Size And Forecast: Supply Chain Sustainability Software 2021-2027 (Global)). Verdantix sought to uncover the factors that drive the corporate supply chain, as well as firms’ investment priorities and technology preferences. We conducted interviews with 150 senior executives in sourcing, procurement and supply chain in the US, UK and Europe, across 11 industries (see Verdantix Global Corporate Survey 2022: Supply Chain Sustainability Analysis). This report explores drivers, spend and technology trends by industry, to support executives with decision-making and technology vendors in the extractive, consumer-oriented and industrial and chemical industries.Sustainability Goals, External Pressures And Regulatory Compliance Drive Investment In Supply Chain Sustainability
