Report Overview

The global project portfolio management market size was valued at USD 4.2 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4% from 2020 to 2027. The growing adoption of cloud-based services for the remote monitoring of assignments is an essential factor that is expected to contribute significantly to market expansion. Surge in activities such as automation and digitalization across industries including healthcare, government, BFSI, telecom, and engineering and construction has stimulated the need for monitoring and analytical solutions to increase productivity and business efficiency. This is significantly encouraging the implementation of project portfolio management (PPM) solutions.

The growing complexities in projects and the need for timely and efficient management are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. Furthermore, the need to gain a 360-degree view of project operations and resource management is driving the demand for PPM solutions. The software helps in collaborative scheduling, planning, and faster and efficient decision-making. Additionally, a surge in the trend of bring your own device (BYOD) coupled with the growing focus of organizations on attaining faster Return on Investment (ROI) are the key factors driving the market growth.

The project portfolio management software assists businesses to improve productivity, increase the pace of innovation, and adapt to the rapidly shifting economic scenario and competitive dynamics. Additionally, the PPM software offers capabilities such as time tracking, data analytics, and cost management. Increasing penetration of connected devices in emerging economies such as Brazil, China, and India is expected to keep the industry’s growth prospects upbeat. Increasing investments in research and development activities have encouraged the development of innovative solutions such as mobile application-based project portfolio management solutions, enabling access to an extensive consumer base. All these factors are propelling the growth of the PPM market.

Project portfolio management is a useful solution as it improves the organization’s adaptability toward change and makes it easy to introduce new projects. Additionally, review and monitoring techniques are introduced to track projects for anomalies and delays and invoke necessary steps to streamline them and subsequently achieve higher returns. Furthermore, with the help of PPM solutions, the companies can emphasize more on achieving targets by focusing on strategies instead of the project operations itself. Additionally, it provides techniques such as scoring techniques, heuristic model, visual, or mapping techniques for assessment of different projects.

Growing competition worldwide is pushing companies to lessen the project cost, which in turn is boosting the use of project portfolio management. However, security and privacy issues especially in case of cloud deployment are the major challenges faced by companies while executing PPM solutions. Furthermore, complexity and cost issues involved with project portfolio management solutions are also among the major hurdles to its widespread adoption. These factors are anticipated to adversely impact the adoption of PPM solutions.

Cloud-based solutions offer cost efficiency and flexibility, due to which the user preference for the adoption of these solutions is higher. Cloud systems offer a greater level of scalability, reduced cost of implementation, and continual development. The deployment of cloud-based solution stimulates the ease of service delivery due to its virtual presence that makes organizations access data across connected devices at any point in time. Moreover, cloud-based PPM solutions facilitate higher control over operations across multiple business channels. These benefits are expected to drive the adoption of cloud PPM solutions across verticals.

Enterprise Size Insights

The small and medium enterprise segment is expected to expand at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The growth in foreign investments toward SMEs is expected to drive the growth of the segment. The growing SMEs in emerging economies and increasing penetration of information technology services is further contributing to the segment growth. These solutions offer effective monitoring and control of business functions and help in business optimization and decision making for SMEs.

The large enterprise segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the availability of high capital and affordability, allowing large organizations to adopt PPM solutions. Large enterprises are investing heavily in participating in today’s competitive industry and are continually undertaking several projects to add innovative product lines or replace and improve existing processes/products. Thus, in a bid to gain a competitive edge, a large enterprise segment is expected to drive the adoption of project portfolio management solutions over the forecast period.
