Supply Chain Sustainability Software Spend by Manufacturers Expected to Rise
制造商供应链可持续性软件支出预计将增加

New research from Verdantix, the independent purpose-driven research firm, has found that recent EU supply chain due diligence regulations and social-related disclosures to improve supply chain transparency, including crackdowns on human rights violations, will drive a $7 billion market in supply chain sustainability software by 2029, with European firms set to be the biggest spenders.

独立目标驱动型研究公司Verdantix的最新研究发现，欧盟最近出台的供应链尽职调查法规和社会相关披露旨在提高供应链透明度，包括打击侵犯人权行为，到2029年将推动供应链可持续性软件市场规模达到70亿美元，而欧洲企业将成为最大的支出者。

The report found that the regulatory shift towards human rights in supply chains, such as the EU Forced Labour Ban prohibiting goods made with forced labour, will help spur over $2 billion annual spending on supply chain sustainability data collection and reporting across the EU by 2029. Overall, supply chain sustainability software spending in Europe will rise at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 34% until 2029.

报告发现，监管转向供应链人权，例如欧盟强迫劳动禁令禁止使用强迫劳动生产商品，将有助于刺激欧盟在2029年前每年在供应链可持续性数据收集和报告方面的支出超过20亿美元。总体而言，到2029年，欧洲的供应链可持续性软件支出将以34%的复合年增长率增长。

Manufacturing and retail will be the biggest-spending sectors, driven by supply chain sustainability regulations targeting these sectors such as the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation and the EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles. Risk management use cases will accelerate global spending to $2.8 billion by 2029, driven by supply chain disruption from geopolitical conflicts such as recent Red Sea attacks.

制造业和零售业将成为支出最大的行业，这受到针对这些行业的供应链可持续性法规的推动，例如欧盟冲突矿产法规和欧盟可持续和循环纺织品战略。到2029年，风险管理使用案例将加速全球支出至28亿美元，这主要是由于地缘政治冲突（例如最近的红海袭击）导致的供应链中断。

This combination of rising regulations and geopolitical conflict will see firms turning to hi-tech solutions with 76% aiming to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to boost sustainability performance in the next two years.

监管力度的加强和地缘政治冲突的加剧将促使企业转向高科技解决方案，其中76%的企业计划在未来两年内使用人工智能来提高可持续发展绩效。

Jessie Wilson, analyst, ESG & Sustainability at Verdantix, commented, “Europe leads the world on sustainability regulations, and this is reflected in its projected spending on supply chain sustainability software. However, the extraterritorial reach of regulations such as CSRD means we expect spending in other regions such as North America to catch up. There’s also rising scrutiny over human rights abuses like forced labour. This is incentivising firms to invest in software to help monitor and demonstrate their commitments to human rights.

Verdantix ESG与可持续发展分析师Jessie Wilson表示：“欧洲在可持续发展法规方面领先世界，这反映在其对供应链可持续发展软件的预计支出中。然而，CSRD 等法规的域外影响意味着我们预计北美等其他地区的支出将迎头赶上。对强迫劳动等侵犯人权行为的审查也日益严格。这激励企业投资软件来帮助监控和展示他们对人权的承诺。

We expect future supply chains to be smart and resilient, leveraging AI to enhance data quality and predictive risk management. These advancements will provide deeper insights, helping companies identify and mitigate risks such as forced labour and sourcing from conflict-affected areas or sanctioned regions. Blockchain-based track-and-trace solutions will offer visibility beyond tier 1 suppliers, streamlining processes and ensuring compliance. Integrating these technologies will transform supply chains, making them efficient, ethical, and sustainable.“

我们预计未来的供应链将是智能且有弹性的，利用人工智能来提高数据质量和预测风险管理。这些进步将提供更深入的洞察，帮助企业识别和减轻诸如强迫劳动和从受冲突影响地区或受制裁地区采购等风险。基于区块链的跟踪解决方案将提供超越一级供应商的可视化，简化流程并确保合规性。整合这些技术将改变供应链，使其高效、合乎道德且可持续。”
