2010 Indirect Procurement Study
A.T. Kearney’s 2010 Indirect Procurement Study found that although once overlooked, indirect procurement organizations have come a long way and are increasingly recognized as having significantly more value to contribute. Indirect spending accounts for 60 percent of third-party spend in non-manufacturing companies, more than 90 percent in the financial services industry, and sometimes 50 percent of spend in manufacturing organizations.
Today, indirect procurement is most influential with IT, telecom, and logistics categories. And looking ahead, the greatest growth is expected in overhead and support, with facilities and logistics following closely behind.
