The market is characterized by an increasing demand for supply chain automation, mobility of the workforce, prediction analytics, real-time tracking, and cloud-based supply chain management solutions. More emphasis has been put on developing the agility of the supply chain network as well as decision-making and visibility. But the issue of interoperability, cost of implementation, security, and integration still challenge the supply chain market. Some emerging opportunities in the market include Blockchain-powered supply chain, Artificial Intelligence-based forecasting, autonomous logistics, and Industry 4.0.
