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 having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The internal audit management software market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $40.41 billion in 2024 to $42.41 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the historical period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of cloud-based internal audit software solutions, incorporation of predictive analytics to aid market expansion, growing regulatory compliance requirements, growing demand for mobile-friendly internal audit software, and expansion of internal audit software functionalities.
The internal audit management software market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $51.01 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing demand for data-driven internal audit solutions, current development to foster industry progress, increased adoption of cloud-based internal audit management software solutions, focus on real-time monitoring and alerts, and adoption of advanced analytics tools. Major trends in the forecast period include cloud-based solutions, integration with ERP systems, mobile accessibility, continuous auditing practices, and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
The forecast of 4.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The cost of audit automation software may rise due to tariffs on compliance databases and AI-driven risk assessment tools developed and hosted in countries facing trade restrictions. 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 upward trajectory of the internal audit management software market is being fueled by the increasing favor towards subscription-based pricing models. Such models entail customers paying for services or products regularly, typically on a monthly or annual basis, at a predetermined price point. This preference is attributed to the benefits of cost predictability and scalability based on usage or features. Moreover, subscription-based pricing models often incur lower upfront costs compared to traditional perpetual licensing models. Consequently, this accessibility makes internal audit management software more attainable to organizations of varying sizes, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), without necessitating a substantial initial investment. For example, as of March 2024, Netflix, a leading provider of streaming entertainment services, employs a subscription pricing model offering basic, standard, and premium services, with a projected customer base of 282.68 million, marking an 8.6% increase from 2023's 260.28 million subscribers.
