Spend Management Platform Market Report 2025

The spend management platform market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $22.77 billion in 2024 to $25.78 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increased adoption of cloud-based solutions, growth in complexity of global supply chains, increased emphasis on cost reduction, growth in e-commerce, growing awareness of sustainability, and increased emphasis on data-driven decision-making.

The spend management platform market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.44 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for mobile-first solutions, increasing adoption of blockchain technology, growing interest in decentralized procurement, rising demand for real-time spend visibility, and rising emphasis on ESG (environmental, social, and governance) criteria. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, mobile applications, integration of AI, blockchain integration, and cloud-based solutions.

The forecast of 12.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.7% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through reduced expense tracking capabilities, as automated receipt processing tools and corporate card integration systems, predominantly developed in Germany and Canada, face implementation challenges due to higher technology import costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The rise of e-commerce is poised to drive the growth of the spend management platform market in the coming years. E-commerce, or electronic commerce, refers to the online buying and selling of goods and services. This growth in e-commerce can be attributed to factors such as widespread smartphone adoption, increased internet connectivity, changing consumer preferences favoring online shopping for its convenience and variety, and the expansion of digital payment options. Spend management platforms play a crucial role in streamlining procurement processes, optimizing vendor relationships, and analyzing purchasing data to improve cost efficiency and profitability for e-commerce businesses. For example, as of February 2024, the Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce reported that U.S. retail e-commerce sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 reached $285.2 billion, marking a 0.8% increase from the third quarter of 2023. Total retail sales for the same period were estimated at $1.83 trillion, showing a 0.4% increase from the third quarter of 2023. Therefore, the expansion of e-commerce is a driving force behind the growth of the spend management platform market.

For instance, in January 2024, Corpay Inc., a U.S.-based spend management company, introduced Corpay Complete, a mobile spending management platform that consolidates multiple financial processes such as corporate cards, expense reimbursements, accounts payable (AP) automation, and supplier payments into a unified system.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a considerable impact on the financial sector, particularly in the areas of investment strategies and risk management. The increased tariffs have intensified market volatility, leading institutional investors to adopt more cautious approaches and driving greater demand for hedging solutions. Banks and asset managers are encountering higher costs in cross-border transactions as disrupted global supply chains and declining corporate earnings weigh on equity market performance. At the same time, insurance providers are facing elevated claims risks linked to supply chain interruptions and trade-related business losses. Furthermore, reduced consumer spending and weaker export demand are limiting credit growth and dampening investment appetite. In response to these challenges, the sector must focus on diversification, accelerate digital transformation, and strengthen scenario planning to manage the heightened economic uncertainty and safeguard profitability.
