Top 10 Procurement Trends in 2026 to Watch
If the early 2020s were all about firefighting, 2026 will be about rewiring. Procurement is moving out of crisis response mode and into something more deliberate: AI-enabled, data-literate, regulation-ready, and genuinely strategic.
In this live session, we will unpack the Top 10 Procurement Trends to Watch in 2026 and what they mean for your roadmap.
Drawing on Kodiak Hub’s latest research and our 2025 trend predictions, this is some of what we will look at:
- How the big 2025 themes actually showed up in real life (AI pilots, the Excel exodus, ESG regulation, rightshoring, and end-to-end SRM)
- The shift from AI experiments to AI-native procurement and what responsible, governed AI usage looks like in practice
- Continuous supplier risk and resilience with always-on monitoring
- Data foundations and SIM 2.0
- Composable S2P stacks instead of monolithic suites
Who this webinar is for
- CPOs and procurement leaders planning their 2026 roadmap
- SRM, sourcing, and supplier risk owners
- Digital, transformation, and sustainability leads working closely with procurement
You will walk away with
- A clear view of the 10 trends most likely to shape procurement in 2026
- A simple structure to turn trends into priorities and projects
- Inspiration for your own content and stakeholder conversations next year
