Policy Management Software Global Market Report 2024

The policy management software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.54 billion in 2023 to $1.82 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.6%. The historic growth in policy management software can be attributed to several factors, including regulatory compliance requirements, mounting concerns over data security, corporate governance initiatives, the demand for centralized policy repositories, and the necessity for streamlined audit processes.

The policy management software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.66 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19%. The forecasted growth in policy management software is driven by various factors, including the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) for policy analysis, the emergence of remote work and distributed workforce management, and the expansion of industry-specific compliance standards. Additionally, rising demand for customizable policy templates and the integration of blockchain technology for enhanced policy transparency are contributing to this growth. Key trends expected in the forecast period include a heightened focus on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) compliance, the adoption of machine learning for dynamic policy enforcement, and the rise of industry-specific regulatory requirements driving market growth. Furthermore, the expansion of policy management software into emerging markets and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as the integration of robotic process automation (RPA) for policy workflow optimization, are anticipated trends in this period.

The escalating cybersecurity threats are anticipated to drive growth in the policy management software market. Cybersecurity threats pose potential risks to computer systems, networks, and data, leading to unauthorized access, data breaches, and information loss. The surge in cybersecurity threats is attributed to factors such as increased connectivity, data monetization, remote work practices, sophisticated attack techniques, and a lack of awareness among users. Policy management software plays a crucial role in enhancing cybersecurity threat management by facilitating the creation, dissemination, enforcement, and monitoring of cybersecurity policies and procedures. For example, according to the Australian Cyber Security Centre's November 2022 report, cyber-crime reports surged to 76,000, marking a 13% increase from the previous year. This underscores the pressing need for robust policy management solutions to mitigate cybersecurity risks effectively, thereby propelling the growth of the policy management software market.
