Amazon Business’ s 2025 State of Procurement Data report draws on the thoughts of almost 3,500 procurement leaders
The 2025 State of Procurement Data report shows procurement’ s evolution from a cost-focused operation into a strategic catalyst for innovation, resilience and sustainability.
Modern procurement teams balance established responsibilities with emerging priorities – including supplier partnerships, technology integration, and SRP initiatives – while working to optimise their overall operations.
Data from nearly 3,500 leaders demonstrates that digital transformation and AI-driven analytics are fundamental to delivering operational efficiency and strategic value. Yet procurement’ s limited participation in executive-level decision-making represents a clear opportunity to expand its organisational influence. Amazon Business facilitates this progression by providing tools that help procurement teams generate quantifiable impact, reinforcing that procurement has become indispensable to sustainable growth and organisational performance rather than simply a support function.
It provides a broad view of how procurement is evolving – shifting from cost‐centre to strategic driver, while highlighting how data and analytics are becoming central to spend management.
“Technology plays a critical role in managing today’ s supply chains from embracing emerging technologies like AI and machine learning to investing in procurement analytics and insights”
