The electronic data interchange market size is expected to reach US$ 74.36 billion by 2031 from US$ 34.02 billion in 2024. The market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 11.9% during 2025–2031. The integration of electronic data interchange (EDI) solutions with blockchain technology is likely to bring new trends to the market in the coming years.
EDI solutions require constant maintenance as the overall workflow of the organization's business depends on it. Several organizations consider EDI to have adherence to numerous compliances and standards. This hampers smaller businesses from dealing with larger organizations to deploy an updated version of document standards. The organizations are interchanging EDI documents directly with their customers or using third-party service providers. With the growing trend of digitalizing business documents for efficient processing, several compliances are implemented, which boosts the transition from paper-based invoices to electronic invoices worldwide.
The rising digital transformation and acceptance of EDI solutions for data transaction trends across BFSI, retail, and manufacturing industries, along with the rising EDI-related compliance requirements and favorable government initiatives to boost EDI solution adoption, are a few of the critical factors driving the demand for EDI solutions worldwide. However, the disadvantage of EDI is the high implementation cost along with the time-consuming placement of the solutions. Despite these limitations, the increasing adoption of EDI transactions and standards and rising digital transformation across industries are anticipated to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.
EDI is an automated process for businesses to exchange documents such as invoices, purchase orders, advance ship notices, customs, payment, inventory, bills of lading, and shipping status documents electronically. EDI allows organizations to regulate the exchange of data between supply chain applications. It also guarantees organizations that the business-critical data is sent on time. The EDI replaced traditional business communication with mail preparation and handling. The EDI solutions permit organizations to enhance the overall workflow performance. The fast and accurate processing of EDI documents leads to less repeated work, along with fewer canceled orders and stock-outs.
EDI is utilized regularly among small- and mid-sized businesses. As small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have fewer resources and human capital, EDI supports them in automating processes instead of relying on traditional methods. It enables a variety of documents and data to be shared as per global and regional EDI rules and standards for the entire electronic interchange process. It comprises transmission, message flow, document format, and software utilized to send and receive documents in the SMEs. The growth of SMEs worldwide increases the number of automated transactions, which creates the demand for EDI solutions among SMEs. For instance, according to European Commission (EU) data of July 2024, Europe observed a 5.4% rise in the number of SMEs, with an increase of 4.8% in the employment rate. The total growth of SMEs in the region reached 4.5% between 2021 and 2023. This growth increases the number of business activities and surges the demand for EDI solutions to streamline operations, improve operational efficiency, and reduce excess IT overheads. EDI solutions allow SMEs to seamlessly exchange key documents such as purchase orders and invoices electronically, avoiding manual processes and paperwork. This results in faster order processing, fewer errors, and better inventory management, which improves overall business performance.
Moreover, growing digitalization and rising demand for automated solutions encourage SMEs to adopt cloud-based solutions. Cloud-based solutions automate many aspects of the EDI process—such as validation, data mapping, format translation, streamlining workflows, and reducing manual data entry. As per the Public First survey conducted in 2024, 85% of SMEs using cloud services surveyed agreed that the use of cloud services made it easier for them to compete with larger businesses. The increased adoption of EDI solutions can lead to higher revenue generation for EDI providers. As a result, providers are making EDI solutions more affordable and accessible for expanding their businesses. Further, SMEs investing in EDI enables them to trade with larger organizations while simultaneously handling more business transactions. Overall, EDI helps SMEs operate more efficiently while allowing them to process more transactions and conduct business with larger organizations. Thus, the growing adoption of EDI among SMEs boosts the electronic data interchange market growth.
The outsourcing of the EDI program is performed via managed services by managing and implementing an EDI platform for a third-party provider. The outsourcing vendor typically offers a cloud-based solution or services that support businesses to securely exchange documents such as purchase orders, invoices, and shipment notices. Outsourcing necessitates the organizations to access a wide range of abilities and capital investment of the hardware and software. Several companies are actively focusing on integrating EDI with their back-office systems, including an ERP system that helps businesses achieve the demand for internal resources. Furthermore, the adoption of managed services approach to EDI has become popular among organizations owing to its significant benefits, such as
The implementation of EDI outsourcing is more engaging than outsourcing across other areas of the IT industry. The EDI outsourcing aims to reduce the infrastructure cost, ensure accurate and timely data exchange, promote quick adaption to changes in trading partner requirements, and ensure access to appropriate skills for delivering services to the customer. The implementation of EDI outsourcing offers various benefits, such as providing access to the latest technology, getting connected with external systems, and providing access to value-added services to permit the user to trade worldwide. The EDI enhances business agility by allowing users to quickly enter new markets and boost business productivity by supplying advanced information related to performance, the supply chain, and business partners. Therefore, the growing demand for EDI outsourcing services is expected to create an opportunity for the growth of the electronic data interchange market during the forecast period.
