Global Procurement Outsourcing Services Market: Overview

Procurement outsourcing is the process of transfer of explicitly crucial procurement activities that are related to supplier management and sourcing to the third party. This minimizes the overall cost and also enables the company to primarily focus on its core competencies. Procurement service providers are completely dedicated to procurement and also have experienced expertise in procurement outsourcing. Since the last decade, there is a significant rise in procurement outsourcing such as specification management, supplier selection, or contract negotiation. Outsourcing of such procurement activities offers customers a wide range of benefits.

Global Procurement Outsourcing Services Market: Growth Factors

The global procurement outsourcing services market is growing substantially. Factors such as the rise in the number of IT solutions, advancements in technology, and growing demand for procurement outsourcing services from the financial sector are primarily augmenting the growth of the global procurement outsourcing services market. Nowadays, the providers are outsourcing transactional procurement such as management of invoices or order processing. The strategic procurement activities are also outsourced majorly by the providers and this includes specification management, supplier selection, or contract negotiation. In addition to this, outsourcing activities of source-to-contract can give the organizations or companies access to capabilities and expertise they might not have in-house. Thus, there is a tremendous upsurge in the demand from the industrial sector including pharmaceutical, BFSI, logistic, automotive, retail, and many more thereby boosting the growth of the global market.

Moreover, the rise in need to handle contracts & compliance policies and the rise in strategic partnership by the procurement outsourcing services providers for expansion of their business are also the factors that are equally contributing to the growth of the market. Furthermore, an increase in the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning by the procurement outsourcing services provider may lead to large opportunities for the growth of the global procurement outsourcing services market during the forecast period. However, several risks associated with the outsourcing and complexity related to the category management may hamper the growth of the global procurement outsourcing services market.

The outbreak of Covid-19 at the start of the year 2020 adversely affected most of the industrial sectors across the world. This manifest is observed in the shutdown of strategic products, laying off of workers, and quick execution of business continuity plans. The complete lockdown and restriction on transport & trade have affected the business leading to the global crisis. This has slowed down the growth of the global procurement outsourcing services market during the first half of the year 2020. However, the procurement functions are expected to increase steadily as most of the industries are primarily focusing on reducing the cost and thus procurement outsourcing service providers will help the companies to prioritize their spending and start working constructively with the suppliers. This will support the global market to grow at a healthy growth rate.
