India’s market for Cloud ERP is largely driven by the fact that it eliminates upfront capital expenditures on hardware and software and the required IT staff.  

A number of megatrends also affect the Cloud ERP market in India, including the growth of small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and micro small-to-medium enterprises (MSMEs) that can now access full blown, best-of-breed ERP solutions via the Cloud.   Cloud ERP is also gaining acceptance in Tier 2 (organizations with annual turnover between $250 million and $1 billion); and in some cases Tier 1 (organizations with annual turnover >$1 billion).  “The Cloud ERP market in India is comparatively less mature than the other markets in the world, but is likely to witness double-digit growth within the forecast period. The main reason for this growth is India’s growing IT adoption in the MSME and SME segments and in industries such as education and services,” according to Senior Analyst Neelam Singh, the co-author of ARC’s “ERP in the Cloud for India Market Research Study.”
