ARC Advisory Group finds that the continued growth of e-commerce from the initial surge during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased customer expectations and new fulfillment models for supply chain solutions. The supply chain planning software market grew at a double-digit rate over the last several years, even during the pandemic. It is unusual for a mature, multibillion dollar market to grow so fast. The transportation management systems market grew steadily in 2023. Coming out of the pandemic, the TMS market was poised for growth as the economy rebounded. Part of this is the nature of TMS and the industries it serves, such as CPG and food & beverage in particular. Direct-to-consumer (e-commerce/omni-channel) fulfillment requirements remain the greatest factor contributing to the growth of the global warehouse management systems market. Furthermore, the need for expedited delivery has encouraged companies to adjust fulfillment capabilities or even relocate facilities closer to consumers, further contributing to the demand for WMS’ functional enhancements.
"Though the pandemic is well behind us, its aftereffects continue to be a driver of growth for this multibillion-dollar market that is growing by double digits. The pandemic highlighted the need for companies to be agile and resilient. Agility and resilience continue to be key goals among C-level executives. Executives largely do not believe that we will have smooth and predictable supply chains that were prevalent several years ago," according to Steve Banker, Vice President of Research and key author of ARC's Supply Chain Management Market Research.
