2024 State of Procurement Report
Amazon Business has unveiled the 2024 State of Procurement Data Report, spotlighting the most relevant trends impacting decisionmakers from organizations of every size. The findings examine the dynamic and rapidly transforming state of business-to-business (B2B) procurement in recent years.
For this year’s report, Amazon Business surveyed more than 3,000 buyers, procurement decision-makers and organizational senior leaders familiar with procurement operations across public and private sectors. Respondents were located in France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, UK, and U.S. The report found that
- 95% of decision-makers acknowledge that there’s room for procurement optimization.
- 85% of respondents say the difficulty of sourcing suppliers that follow sustainable practices prevents their company from setting or achieving strategic sustainability goals for procurement.
- 81% of respondents had mandates to buy from certified sellers, which might include sustainable, local, or disadvantaged group- owned businesses. Despite the desire for responsible purchasing (85%), difficulty finding sustainable suppliers hinders sustainability goals.
