Growth Factors in the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Industry:
Expansion of Retail Channels
The number of retail channels is on the rise, thanks to the emergence of e-commerce platforms and omnichannel retailing. There is a growing requirement for smooth data exchange between suppliers, distributors and other stakeholders to ease real-time stock, order and delivery updates. Faster, more accurate communication with EDI has become necessary to manage more order volume while meeting customer expectations. In the retail sector, EDI is used for orders, order acknowledgments, advance ship notices, bills of lading, shipping notice, and a variety of other transactions, all formatted to standard specifications. Retail channels have broadened and the demand for integrated solutions has increased, driving EDI to become a central part of gaining efficiency, accuracy and integration in the supply chain. As of 2023, statista reported that global retail sales reached USD 29.29 Trillion, a 3.87% increase over 2022. Store sales made up 80.1% of total retail sales while online sales accounted for 19.9% of total retail sales.
Growing Demand for Cloud-Based EDI Solutions
The market is driven by the increasing adoption of cloud-based EDI solutions. The solutions eliminate the need for on-premise hardware that is often expensive to set up and maintain, making them easier for companies of all sizes to implement. They provide flexible processing power, allow connectivity to existing systems and equipment, and are easily accessible from more locations and on more devices. Cloud-based systems also allow firms to rapidly scale and improve supply chains and communications with partners worldwide. While more companies are adopting remote work and increasing their digital capabilities, a push to adopt cloud-based EDI to make business more efficient and competitive has been seen, resulting in a growing trend towards cloud-based implementation of EDI. According to Denodo Global Cloud Survey 2020, 78% of respondents had important cloud workloads. 10% more users were offloading data to the cloud compared to 2019. Nearly half of the respondents were using data virtualization as an applicable component of their cloud strategy to accomplish live data integration and real-time insights.
Increasing International Trade Activities
The accelerating growth in international trade is expected to drive the growth of electronic data interchange (EDI) market share. EDI allows for the efficient transfer of key documents including purchase orders, invoices, and shipping notices between organizations. These documents would otherwise require manual preparation and transmission which takes more time and is prone to error. With the increase in international trade, companies need to be able to handle complex supply chains, as well as numerous international regulations. EDI is one way to address this by implementing standard communication between companies and suppliers or logistics providers. As international trade expands, the need for timely and accurate information exchange is increasing and is helping to drive the demand for EDI. The supply chain also needs to become more efficient, and there is a driver for EDI implementation in order to remain competitive in international business. 79% of organizations reported increasing their supply chain investments, according to the Blue Yonder 2024 Supply Chain Executive Survey, with 51% report having invested over USD 10 Million, indicating worldwide efforts to grow supply chain capabilities and resilience.
Key Trends in the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Market:
Integration with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
The application of AI and ML technologies on EDI solutions has the potential to further transform data exchange. AI-based EDI can monitor and identify errors, predict transactional patterns, and ease smart data routing with little-to-no human intervention. Machine learning algorithms can use insights from historical transactions to both detect anomalies and suggest process improvements, allowing business users to make informed decisions. Smart systems can automatically onboard partners, map and check documents for compliance, enabling faster implementations. To handle complex transactions at a greater scale, businesses are applying AI and ML to speed up processing, improve data quality, and automate discrepancy resolution, making EDI a smarter tool and improving operational efficiency and planned decision-making.
Adoption of Blockchain Technology for Secure Transactions
Blockchain is another emerging type of EDI technology, which seeks to solve traceability, trust and security of the EDI transactions. Blockchain technology makes the transaction process more secure and trustworthy amongst trading partners as it acts as a tamper-proof audit trail for all transactions and provides an immutable record of transactions. Smart contracts with EDI can only be executed when pre-defined conditions are met. These types of systems are heralded as the future for industries requiring the highest possible degree of data integrity like pharmaceuticals, aerospace and food supply chains. Blockchain-enabled EDI also enables instant verifications of the validity of documents, lowers the risk of fraud, and helps companies to comply with regulatory requirements. Because of tighter regulatory requirements, companies are now looking to use blockchain to connect and share verifiable information in a joint ecosystem.
Rise of API-Based EDI Solutions
Organizations with more flexible requirements are beginning to adopt API-based EDI solutions. These solutions differ from customary batch processing EDI solutions in that they rely on APIs for data exchange and real-time synchronization of business applications. This allows organizations to view data in real-time. The architecture is more in line with RESTful APIs and microservices, which makes it easier to incorporate cloud, mobile app, and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. API-based EDI is often preferred by digital-native companies and organizations that are going through digital transformation as it is more in line with modern software development. The benefits include simplification of technology, faster partner onboarding, and support for agile business processes. API-based EDI is seen as a new generation of EDI that enables the transition from customary message-based EDI to a more dynamic event-based communication protocol that meets the operational needs of agile and connected business networks in the digital economy.
