Spend analytics involves collecting, cleansing, classifying, and analyzing expenditure data to reduce procurement costs, enhance efficiency, and ensure compliance. It encompasses identifying spending patterns, extracting insights, and making data-driven decisions to optimize supply chains, increase procurement value, and improve supplier relationships.
The primary types of spend analytics include software and services. Software is utilized to gather, process, and analyze financial data from various sources to gain insights into procurement patterns and optimize expenditure strategies. It offers descriptive, prescriptive, and predictive analytics for financial management, risk management, governance and compliance, supplier sourcing and performance, demand and supply forecasting, and other applications across manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, retail, BFSI, IT and telecommunications, education, healthcare, and other industries.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are taking a toll on the professional services sector, especially within legal, consulting, architectural, and engineering fields. Increased duties on imported technology, software, office hardware, and digital infrastructure have pushed up operational costs for firms that rely on global systems and resources. Cross-border consulting engagements are experiencing delays and higher expenses due to elevated travel costs and limited access to international data and tools. Moreover, industries heavily impacted by tariffs such as manufacturing, construction, and logistics are reducing their reliance on outsourced services, dampening demand for professional support. In response, service providers are reassessing pricing models, strengthening ties with domestic vendors, and accelerating the adoption of AI and automation to maintain profitability and client satisfaction in an increasingly volatile environment.

The spend analytics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.56 billion in 2024 to $3.04 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing globalization, growing adoption of digital technologies, regulatory compliance requirements, rising demand for cost reduction, awareness of potential benefits.
The spend analytics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.85 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning, expansion of cloud-based solutions, emphasis on sustainability and ethical sourcing, focus on risk management, integration of internet of things (IoT) devices. Major trends in the forecast period include increased focus on predictive analytics, adoption of blockchain technology for enhanced transparency, proliferation of data-driven decision-making tools, emergence of augmented analytics for deeper insights, growth of spend analytics as a service (SaaS) offerings.
The forecast of 17.8% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.8% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Trade tensions could burden U.S. procurement departments by inflating prices for artificial intelligence-powered expense tracking platforms and supplier risk assessment tools sourced from Israel and Germany, leading to reduced visibility into corporate spending and higher operational 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 ascendancy of the retail and e-commerce sector is poised to be a significant catalyst for the expansion of the spend analytics market in the foreseeable future. This sector encompasses businesses engaged in the direct sale of goods and services to consumers through physical retail outlets or digital platforms, facilitating the seamless exchange and distribution of products. The surge in the retail and e-commerce realm can be attributed to evolving consumer preferences, the allure of convenience, competitive pricing dynamics, and ripe opportunities for market expansion. Spend analytics, a pivotal practice within the retail and e-commerce domain, entails scrutinizing purchasing data to fine-tune sourcing strategies, foster stronger supplier relations, and bolster cost efficiency across the supply chain. A noteworthy example of this trend is evident in the figures reported by the United States Census Bureau in February 2024, which indicate a robust 7.6% year-on-year increase in total e-commerce sales, reaching an estimated $1,118.7 billion in 2023. Consequently, the burgeoning retail and e-commerce landscape emerges as a primary driver fueling the growth trajectory of the spend analytics market.
