Verdantix Says Spending On Operational Excellence Digital Services Will Reach $29.9 Billion In 2025

The global operational excellence digital services market will grow from $22.1 billion in 2020 to $29.9 billion in 2025 according to a new study from independent research firm Verdantix. The forecasted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3% will be driven by the COVID-19-induced digital acceleration and prohibitive costs of unplanned downtime in process-intensive and asset-heavy industries. Vendors positioned to benefit from this growth include digital service providers such as Accenture, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Wipro, as well as software product suppliers such as AVEVA, Bentley Systems, GE Digital and IBM.

“Digital transformation is high on the agenda of every determined and forward-looking industrial firm” commented Victor Voulgaropoulos, Verdantix Industry Analyst. “Third-party digital services firms are becoming an essential element of an organization’s operational excellence strategy, as enterprise-wide efforts are required to meaningfully drive operational change and reap the gains from digitization.”
