Batch Management Software Market - Forecasts from 2023 to 2028

The batch management software market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.92% over the forecast period, increasing from US$238.284 million in 2021 to US$356.295 million by 2028.

Batch management plays an overseeing role in the process phase of production functions. The batch management software includes a server and the services to transact the complete batch project. It distinguishes one lot of production from another based on certain characteristics and keeps track of the lots during their lifecycle.

The rise in demand for quality products requires manufacturers to use batch management software to pace production and ensure the quality of the products. Consequently, scheduling the process and coordinating throughout is the main function of batch management software

Increased emphasis on product quality

Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on improving productivity while simultaneously reducing the overall cost of operations on account of the growing competitive nature globally. Simultaneously, the demand for produced goods is expected to increase. The figure below provides a snapshot of increasing production in China owing to the increasing population. As per the World Bank, the percentage of GDP in terms of manufacturing increased from 26% in 2020 to 28% in 2022.

With production increasing so rapidly, the demand for batch management software will see an upsurge in sales to meet the target demand by expediting the production process. Since many processes are still left to achieve automation, the need to place batch management software remains high. Further, managing operations effectively and efficiently and tracking the lots of production is indispensable to avoid wastages or errors in production. This tendency to avoid defaults, whether in volume quality or timing, is a major market driver.

Further, companies producing goods must establish a control process to ensure regulatory compliance along with the rising production targets to be able to keep their goods flowing seamlessly. This system also testifies the raw materials and intermediaries and alarms when there is any deviation.

Moreover, stricter laws governing the safety of drugs and food are crucial to the industry. Title 21 Part 11 of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that all pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device manufacturers, as well as other FDA-regulated industries, must maintain all process audits, controls, system validations, electronic signatures, and documentation in an electronic format. It is anticipated that businesses will be able to provide the authorities with product traceability information upon request through the batch management software.

North America is predicted to hold the largest market share for the market

The growing use of industrial automation and strict regulations in industries like pharmaceuticals are driving the regional market. Effective batch management systems are becoming necessary as production processes become more complicated and consumers want higher-quality products. Technological developments, a move towards cloud-based solutions, and integration with business systems all support market momentum.

This growth is propelled by the extensive use of industrial automation and the strict regulations seen in industries such as pharmaceuticals and food & beverage. Continuous technological developments improve batch management systems' sophistication for real-time monitoring, especially in the IoT and data analytics domains. The need for software that optimizes production processes is fueled by the focus placed on attaining operational excellence in American companies.

Furthermore, according to NIST, manufacturing made $2.3 trillion, or 12.0% of the total GDP of the United States, in 2021. Manufacturing's value contribution, both direct and indirect, was projected to have contributed 24% of the GDP. 10.6% of the output of the United States' manufacturing sector in 2020 was of foreign origin due to the importation of 18.2% of its intermediate products and services. As per the Current Population Survey, the manufacturing sector in the United States employed 14.7 million workers in 2021, accounting for 9.6% of the total employment in the country.

Manufacturing automation takes many different forms. For example, industrial robots or collaborative robots (cobots) are used to handle components and products in designated locations. Historically, robotics has been associated with expensive technologies mostly utilized by major manufacturers. The newest developments in software, vision systems, sensors, and other technologies are opening up robotics to even the tiniest enterprises.
