Supply Chain Management (SCM)

Supply Chain Management (SCM) applications have shifted from reactive tracking to autonomous, self-healing networks. The global SCM software market is valued at approximately $30.7 billion to $38.5 billion this year, with an expected annual growth rate of roughly 11-14%. 

Key Trends

• SAP Business Network on BTP: The world’s largest B2B network now runs on the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), offering improved scalability and a single global directory of trading partners for faster vendor discovery.
• Clean Core Strategy: SAP strongly emphasizes a “clean core” in 2025, encouraging businesses to use standard AI-driven features and cloud-based services like the MRP Monitor to reduce the total cost of ownership.
• Sustainability Integration: Carbon footprint tracking and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) compliance tools are now embedded into every stage of the supply chain, from design to last-mile delivery.
• Multi-Tier Transparency: New “Supply Chain Orchestration” tools extend visibility beyond immediate suppliers to the entire multi-tier network, allowing companies to detect and mitigate risks before they cause disruption.
