APAC Specification Management Software Market to Grow at Highest CAGR During Forecast Period

With a large emphasis on gathering foreign direct investments (FDIs), governments of APAC countries are offering tax rebates, funds, subsidies, and so on to attract the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and pharmaceutical manufacturing companies to set up plants in their respective countries. Further, initiatives such as Made in China 2025 and Make in India are propelling the growth of various sectors. However, China, which is the world's largest industrial hub, is seeing a spike in labor costs due to the large aging population; this has redirected manufacturers’ attention to Southeast Asian countries. Companies are drawn to these countries because of better infrastructure, rising domestic consumption, and lower operating and labor costs. Favorable initiatives such as China Food and Drug Administration’s reform in China and the price reform in Japan; supportive funding policies in Southeast Asia; and escalating digitalization in the pharmaceuticals industry are among major factors that are expected to drive the growth of the specification management software market in APAC during the forecast period.

The corporate and manufacturing sectors in APAC exhibited low investments in the technologies in the first half of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic; however, they had to scale up the adoption of digital technologies to manage daily business operations from remote locations. In addition, the specification management software market in APAC is dominated by China since the country hosts a large number of manufacturers. The presence of limited workforces in production facilities resulted in limited production, which caused significant revenue losses to manufacturers. Nevertheless, since May 2020, the Chinese manufacturing facilities have been operating with higher manpower, which provided growth impetus to the specification management software market in the country.
