Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software - A Global Market Overview

Global Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software Market Trends and Outlook

The global Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software market is undergoing a period of accelerated transformation, fueled by organizations' pursuit of agility, operational resilience, and intelligent automation. Valued at US$60 billion in 2024, the market is expected to nearly double to US$119 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 12.1%. This growth is anchored in the widespread shift to cloud-native architectures, modular platforms, and embedded AI capabilities that are fundamentally reshaping how enterprises plan, operate, and compete. Across industries and geographies, ERP is evolving from a transactional backbone into a strategic enabler of data-driven decision-making.

A defining feature of the market's evolution is the adoption of composable ERP platforms that allow incremental deployment of finance, supply chain, HR, and CRM modules. This modularity, coupled with subscription-based pricing, is lowering entry barriers and accelerating time-to-value, particularly for mid-sized businesses. Meanwhile, leading vendors such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Infor, and vertical-focused challengers like Epicor and IFS are doubling down on industry-specific solutions, AI integration, and UX innovation to address diverse customer demands. Embedded predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and intelligent automation are no longer optional but essential components of next-generation ERP ecosystems.
