The global enterprise software market size is expected to reach USD 750.03 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 12.8% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The significant market growth can be attributed to the shifting focus of various end-use organizations on digitalizing their business operations, high demand for data-driven decision-making tools, and increasing adoption of cloud computing & data analytics technologies. With enterprise software, organizations are automating various daily tedious tasks, improving their marketing & sales divisions to increase client conversion rates, and modifying business processes to meet the evolving market needs. Due to this, the demand for enterprise software is expected to increase notably in the forecast period.
The growing number of e-commerce companies and the preference of various companies for enhancing their digital channel interfaces to improve consumer experience will drive market growth in the retail sector. The industry players are strengthening their retail technology solution portfolio to bring innovations in retail-specific enterprise software. For instance, in August 2020, enterprise software provider, Aptean, acquired the product lifecycle management division of retail technology solution company, Aptos. This acquisition helped Aptean expand its cloud-based enterprise software offerings for fashion, luxury, and other retail industries. In April 2022, Software AG acquired software services provider, StreamSets for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition enabled Software AG to manage its client’s data transfer between cloud data platforms, on-premise applications, and other legacy data stores.
Growing demand for enterprise software is encouraging startups to enter this potential industry. Many startups are focusing on offering enterprise software at reasonable costs and raising funds to improve their global networks and consumer base. For instance, in March 2022, Locofy.ai, an enterprise software provider, raised USD 3 million in a funding round organized by various investing firms, such as Boldcap, Golden Gate Ventures, Accel, and January Capital. The company will utilize this funding to expand its software development team and R&D capabilities. In July 2022, ElevateHQ, a Business-to-Business (B2B) software provider, raised USD 1.1 million in a funding round of a financial company, Leo Capital. Such initiatives by startups will create a positive outlook for the market in the coming years.
