The rising need for cloud services is expected to drive the growth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the procurement market in the coming years. Cloud services refer to computing resources delivered over the internet - such as storage, databases, and software - provided by cloud computing vendors, allowing users to access and utilize these services without maintaining on-premises infrastructure. The growing demand for cloud services is driven by the need for agility, innovation, cost efficiency, and competitive advantage in an increasingly digital and interconnected environment. Generative AI in procurement is strengthened by the scalable computing power and flexibility offered by cloud services, enabling organizations to fully leverage generative AI algorithms while benefiting from the adaptable, accessible, and cost-effective nature of cloud infrastructure. For example, in April 2025, the American Bar Association, a U.S.-based professional organization, reported that approximately 75% of attorneys used cloud computing for work-related tasks, an increase from 69% in 2023 and around 70% in 2022. Therefore, the rising need for cloud services is contributing to the growth of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the procurement market.

Key players in the generative artificial intelligence (AI) procurement market are developing innovative solutions such as the generative AI Suite to enhance the competitive edge of finance and procurement teams. A generative AI suite for procurement encompasses a suite of AI-powered tools and solutions aimed at streamlining and optimizing various facets of the procurement process. For instance, in October 2023, ZIP, a US-based provider of cutting-edge software solutions, unveiled its Generative AI Suite, revolutionizing team workflows by offering advanced tools and capabilities. The suite includes predictive analytics, automated insights, supplier relationship management, and contract management, seamlessly integrating AI into request intake, approval, and contract renewal workflows. This integration eliminates the need for thousands of hours that employees would otherwise spend on labor-intensive vendor contract reviews and error-prone data entry for purchase requests, purchase orders, and invoices.

In August 2024, Enverus Holdings Inc., a U.S.-based technology company specializing in energy-focused SaaS solutions, acquired BidOut Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Enverus aims to integrate BidOut’s AI-driven RFx sourcing capabilities into its Source-to-Pay suite to enhance business automation, improve procurement efficiency and compliance, and strengthen its buyer-supplier network. BidOut Inc. is a U.S.-based technology company that provides an AI-powered procurement platform designed to streamline RFx creation, connect buyers with multiple suppliers, and optimize sourcing and supplier management within the energy sector.
