Utilizing information from provider websites and additional research performed by ComTech for this study, we are able to
build a matrix of solutions for different commodities, supply chains and other functions. However, this is based on analysis
of functional capability and track record – it is in no way intended, nor should it be, a recommendation of any vendor or
product. It should function more as a
potential starting point for any business
seeking solutions in this category. This
matrix doesnot consider many other
important aspects that should be taken

CTRM Market Growth
Outlook in Ags & softs
and
The ags & softs CTRM market is the
second largest behind energy and has
the highest projected growth rates, with

an estimated size of $288m globally in
2014 and average growth rates of 9%.
The rate of growth may have slowed in
recent months as a direct result of the

highestgrowth market for CTRM software
to be the Asia-Pac region; and that region continues to attract increasing attention from many CTRM and related software
vendors. CTRM and CM suppliers are increasingly focused on the market, and both are rapidly enhancing their
capabilities in both CTRM and CM to meet the specific demands of that region.
Given the highly competitive nature of the broad CTRM market – one with less than 150 new deals signed each year – we
expect the vendor landscape to continue to be very dynamic and volatile as vendors seek to expand their market reach
through internal development and acquisition.
That being said, the emerging battle between the ERP and CTRM vendors may be the most interesting to follow. The ags
& softs sector includes many entities that do not trade speculatively, but rather engage in production, sales or purchase,
