Supply Chain Sustainability Software Spend by Manufacturers Expected to Rise
製造商供應鏈可持續性軟件支出預計將增加

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.

獨立目標驅動型研究公司Verdantix的最新研究發現
，歐盟最近出台的供應鏈盡職調查法規和社會相關披露旨在提高供應鏈透明度，包括打擊侵犯人權行為，到2029年將推動供應鏈可持續性軟件市場規模達到70億美元
，而歐洲企業將成為最大的支出者。

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.

報告發現
，監管轉向供應鏈人權，例如歐盟強迫勞動禁令禁止使用強迫勞動生產商品，將有助於刺激歐盟在2029年前每年在供應鏈可持續性數據收集和報告方麵的支出超過20億美元。總體而言，到2029年，歐洲的供應鏈可持續性軟件支出將以34%的複合年增長率增長。

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.

，這主要是由於地緣政治衝突（例如最近的紅海襲擊）導致的供應鏈中斷。

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.

監管力度的加強和地緣政治衝突的加劇將促使企業轉向高科技解決方案，其中76%的企業計劃在未來兩年內使用人工智能來提高可持續發展績效。

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與可持續發展分析師Jessie Wilson表示：“歐洲在可持續發展法規方麵領先世界，這反映在其對供應鏈可持續發展軟件的預計支出中。然而，CSRD 等deng法fa規gui的de域yu外wai影ying響xiang意yi味wei著zhe我wo們men預yu計ji北bei美mei等deng其qi他ta地di區qu的de支zhi出chu將jiang迎ying頭tou趕gan上shang。對dui強qiang迫po勞lao動dong等deng侵qin犯fan人ren權quan行xing為wei的de審shen查zha也ye日ri益yi嚴yan格ge。這zhe激ji勵li企qi業ye投tou資zi軟ruan件jian來lai幫bang助zhu監jian控kong和he展zhan示shi他ta們men對dui人ren權quan的de承cheng諾nuo。

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.“
