Business practices within Subscriptions market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Subscriptions and Admissions market. Changing workforce demographics are creating challenges in identifying the right talent mix and processes that can keep the talent pool motivated and satisfied with their work. Even though global population is increasing, the availability of adequately trained talent pool is reducing in many geographies.

Companies are designing processes where the internal talent can work on the most value-adding activities and all non-core activities can be handed over to a third-party. The market has undergone several structural changes including M&As and vertical integration efforts of suppliers. This has resulted in some issues such as erosion of previously established supplier relationships but has also opened new opportunities to onboard new suppliers with a wider range of offerings. As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Subscriptions procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.
