The grant management software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.58 billion in 2024 to $2.88 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to a rising demand for centralized grant tracking, greater adoption of digital documentation, an increasing need for compliance management, heightened reporting requirements from funders, and growing awareness of fraud prevention.

The grant management software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.47 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. The projected growth during the forecast period is driven by increased adoption of cloud-based solutions, a stronger focus on real-time monitoring, heightened attention to donor transparency, expanding demand for mobile access, and a rising need for personalized reporting dashboards. Key trends expected include the creation of user-friendly dashboards, advancement in automated compliance monitoring, integration with financial systems, incorporation of data visualization tools, and innovation in automated notifications and reminders.

The increasing use of cloud-based solutions is anticipated to drive the expansion of the grant management software market in the coming years. Cloud-based solutions encompass software, platforms, or services hosted on remote servers and accessed via the internet, allowing scalable and on-demand computing without the necessity for local infrastructure. Their rising popularity stems from cost-effectiveness, as organizations can minimize expenses related to physical infrastructure, maintenance, and IT staff by utilizing scalable, pay-as-you-go cloud services. These solutions promote the adoption of grant management software by enabling organizations to securely manage, monitor, and streamline grant applications, funding, and reporting from any location, thereby enhancing efficiency, collaboration, and data access. For example, Eurostat, a government agency based in Luxembourg, reported in December 2023 that 45.2% of businesses in the EU utilized cloud computing services such as internet-based software, computing power, and storage, a 4.2% increase since 2021. Hence, the expanding use of cloud-based solutions is fueling growth in the grant management software market.

Leading companies in the grants management software sector are concentrating on creating advanced solutions such as artificial intelligence to enhance grant application, tracking, and reporting workflows.

The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the professional services sector, particularly in legal, consulting, architectural, and engineering domains. Higher costs for imported technology, software licenses, office equipment, and digital infrastructure have raised operational expenses for firms reliant on global tools and platforms. International consulting projects are facing delays or cost overruns due to increased travel expenses and restricted access to foreign-sourced data and tools. Additionally, clients in manufacturing, construction, and logistics, heavily affected by tariffs are cutting back on outsourced services, squeezing demand for professional expertise. As a result, service providers are reevaluating pricing structures, expanding domestic supplier relationships, and investing in AI-driven solutions to sustain profitability and client engagement amid economic uncertainty.
