The vendor risk management market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The vendor risk management market has experienced rapid growth in recent years. It will rise from $8.27 billion in 2024 to $9.43 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 14.0%.
This growth is driven by the emergence of VRM solutions, high-profile data breaches, increasing supply chain complexity, regulatory compliance requirements, and the demand for faster transactions.
The vendor risk management market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The vendor risk management market is anticipated to grow to $15.71 billion by 2029 with a CAGR of 13.6%.
Growth is attributed to the need for effective management of vendor ecosystems, outsourcing practices, and the rise of third-party vendors. Trends include AI and machine learning adoption, product innovations, and new collaborations.
The vendor risk management market is expected to see significant growth driven by an increased number of data breach incidents. Data breaches, which range from unauthorized access and disclosure to destruction of critical information, put individual privacy, organizational security and regulatory compliance at risk. The reason for such breaches often lies in advanced cyber threats, flaws in the technology infrastructure, insufficient security precautions, and an ever-expanding attack surface due to the digital transformation and system interconnections. Vendor risk management can mitigate these risks by detecting these vulnerabilities, setting up security protocols, fostering cooperation and ensuring compliance with regulations. For example, the UK's Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology announces in April 2023 that cybercrime had an effect on 11% of businesses and 8% of charities overall in 2022, with the figure surging to 26% for medium-sized businesses, 37% for large businesses and 25% for high-income charities in 2023. Consequently, the escalation in data breach incidents is propelling the growth of the vendor risk management market.
