The outlook for software purchasing trends in 2025 is marked by buyers who are much more informed and cautious than ever before.
A recent study by Gartner reveals that 82% of companies plan to increase their investment budget for software purchases in 2025, with a particular focus on security and IT management.
However, this leads to a more cautious purchasing process, with decision-makers conducting thorough research, consulting reviews and ratings, and adjusting their different options before settling on one.
Current challenges for software buyers
B2B buyers of industrial software in 2025 face several challenges that influence their purchasing decisions. Among the main pain points are:
- Fear of buyer’s remorse: More than 50% of buyers admit to having made a mistake with a recent purchase. This makes them more cautious and demanding: they seek clear guarantees of value before investing.
- Technological and evaluation complexity: The selection process takes a long time (4–5 months on average) because compatibility, learning curve, and integration with existing systems must be evaluated.
- Integration and interoperability requirements: Solutions must be plug-and-play and easily connect to ERP, MES, or PLC systems. Interoperability is no longer a bonus, but a minimum requirement.
- Pressure for faster ROI: Companies demand visible results in weeks, not years. Projects with quick wins and tangible metrics are more likely to succeed.
