QKS Group reports that the global Procure-to-Pay (P2P) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9% by 2028, driven by rapid digital transformation and shifting business priorities.
The pandemic significantly disrupted global supply chains, pushing organizations to strengthen business continuity, resilience, and agility. As companies face frequent compliance updates, evolving governance requirements, and the need for better data management, the focus has shifted toward breaking down silos and improving end-to-end visibility. To navigate ongoing uncertainty, enterprises are prioritizing cost savings, automating P2P workflows, optimizing cash flow, and reducing operational risk.
The growing push for digitizing manual processes—such as purchase requests, order management, invoicing, and approvals—has accelerated investments in next-generation technologies. Organizations are increasingly adopting AI, ML, blockchain, NLP, and RPA to streamline procurement operations, validate supplier compliance, and enhance approval workflows. Procure-to-Pay solution providers are continually enhancing their platforms with better integration capabilities, real-time spend tracking, automated invoice matching, and intuitive user experiences.
A rising trend is the adoption of AI-powered guided buying, which supports smarter decision-making by helping users easily select the right products and services through user-friendly interfaces. This shift underscores the growing demand for intelligent, connected, and agile P2P ecosystems.
