Dublin, April 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Vendor Management Software Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Vendor Management Software Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14% over the forecast period (2021 - 2026). Vendor management involves initiating and grooming the relationships the suppliers of the goods and services a buyer needs for day to day operations.

The increasing need for reducing the risks, making faster decisions has paved the way for the vendor management software to be integrated with the Vendor Management Software Market.

The lack of availability of vendor information and vendor performance exposes the company to increased supply risk and prevents the company's ability to act proactively in dire situations thereby making it imperative for them to look for solutions like VMS that could navigate them through such situations thereby fueling the growth of the VMS throughout the forecast period.

The increasing need to minimize the administrative cost is one of the important factors that could drive the growth of the VMS market over the forecast period. Also, it is very important for the regulated companies to ensure that the third-party goods and services comply with applicable laws, regulations and best practices making VMS a necessity for such companies.

However, the high implementation and maintenance cost is one such factor that could play a vital role in hindering the growth of the VMS market over the forecast period.
