SaaS-based Expense Management Market Development Factors: What’s Supporting Demand?
The anticipated rise in business travel is set to drive expansion within the SaaS-based expense management market. Business travel encompasses instances where company personnel journey for professional reasons, such as attending meetings, conferences, visiting clients, undertaking training, delivering sales pitches, or engaging in other work-related activities. SaaS Expense Management solutions facilitate the enforcement of corporate expense policies by identifying non-compliant spending and delivering immediate notifications and alerts to both employees and managers. This mechanism guarantees that all expenditures made during business travel align with organizational guidelines and budgetary constraints. For example, in July 2024, the Global Business Travel Association, a leading US business travel and meetings organization, reported that global business travel spending is forecast to increase by 11.1% in 2024. This follows significant year-over-year growth rates of 30% to 47% observed in 2022 and 2023. After this period, growth is expected to slow progressively, resulting in a compound annual growth rate of 6.95% from 2025 to 2028. Consequently, the expanding volume of business travel is fueling the expansion of the SaaS-based expense management market.
