Amazon Business has unveiled the 2024 State of Procurement Data Report, spotlighting the most relevant trends impacting decision-makers 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.
