According to Sahil Dhamgaye, Senior Analyst at QKS Group, "The VRM market in 2025 reflects both maturity and transition. Leaders continue to consolidate their strength by embedding VRM into enterprise risk programs, proving that vendor oversight is no longer a compliance obligation but a core element of business resilience. At the same time, the market is shifting toward intelligence-driven practices: automation, AI-enabled validation, and continuous monitoring are replacing static, resource-heavy assessments. What stands out this year is the speed of innovation from vendors compared to last year that is pushing the market forward with differentiated approaches like assessment exchanges and mid-market accessibility. While the fundamentals of third-party risk remain consistent, the direction of travel is clear, as buyers now demand efficiency, demonstrable outcomes, and integration with broader resilience strategies, and vendors unable to meet these expectations risk being left behind.”
