5-Year Market Outlook
In developing our outlook for the global CTRM markets, we reviewed the current and perspective market by
commodities, geographies and industrial market segments; developing our topside outlook of the market based
upon this more granular review. Overall, we anticipate the total global CTRM market will grow by 4-6%, with our
estimates reflecting a midrange
value of 5%. Within the revenue
components that comprise this
market, we anticipate that
traditional installed software
license sales will grow at modest
rate of 3-4%, while increasing
adoption of SaaS or “Cloud” based
solutions will see growth rates
from 13-15%. Despite this high
growth rate, traditionally installed
solutions will continue to
dominate the market for the
foreseeable future.

Regional Review

$Millions

The “Energy Renaissance” in North America is having a significant impact on prices and volatilities for both natural
gas and power, reducing trading activities across virtually all industry segments and limiting the entrance of new
market participants.

for the energy
centric market (including oil, products and coal) in North America will be for replacement of existing vendor
supported systems that have been in production for five or more years, and for expansion licenses due to organic
business growth. Non-energy CTRM license sales do show more promise for growth as we are seeing increasing
adoption of CTRM for managing price and operational risks in the supply chains of agricultural, CPG and metals
intensive industries. We expect growth in these markets will continue, contributing to an overall growth rate in the
North American market on par with the global average of approximately 5%.
