Verdantix Says Spending On EHS Software Will Reach $2.5 Billion In 2026

The EHS software market will reach $2.5 billion in 2026 according to a new study from independent research firm Verdantix. The forecasted compound annual growth rate of 11.5% will be driven by the increasing digitization of EHS processes and the expansion of EHS software capabilities to include environmental, social and governance (ESG), sustainability risk management, and operational risk management (ORM), via acquisitions and private equity investment. Vendors positioned to benefit from this growth include EHS software firms such as Benchmark Digital, CGE Risk, ComplianceQuest, Enablon, Ideagen, IsoMetrix, Quentic, and Sphera.
