WELCOME TO
THE GLOBAL PROCUREMENT & DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION SURVEY 2025
This, the definitive procurement survey, is an incredibly exciting piece of research. At a time when procurement faces a wealth of challenges, but equally as many opportunities, we commissioned an extensive survey into the hearts and minds of the world’ s most successful procurement leaders.
And the results, compiled here in The Global Procurement & Digital Transformation Survey 2025, make for compelling reading. We face risk head on, but what really stands out is the enormous and broad scope of innovations, strategies and skills that procurement professionals hold in their hands ready to deploy.
You’ ll learn how the operating model is transforming, why AI represents a true step-change in how procurement professionals will work, and how the most successful are responding to increasing geopolitical pressures. There’ s also insight into tomorrow’ s CPOs.
To provide clarity, we’ ve worked with industry experts from Zip and Coupa, who have poured over our data to provide timely, engaging and insightful context from which you can learn.
Consider this survey your authority on procurement for now and the future – a roadmap to help elevate the function to its true potential.
