The market winced. Business spend held firm.
The latest Coupa Business Spend Index™ Report explores the impact of tariffs, market volatility, and more across five key industries. Find out how they responded to the pressure.
When a volatile market meets growing tech spend
Stock prices react in seconds. Business budgets take months. When the Nasdaq corrected, corporate tech spend kept rising. That gap may be the signal investors have been missing.
Manufacturing holds: Tariffs changed the price, not the orders
Tariffs rewrote the rules three times in six months, and Manufacturing spend never blinked. Now the Fed has raised rates for the first time since 2023, and that could be the shock that finally bites.
High Tech spend drops, but not why you’d think
Software's share of High Tech spend just dropped from 12.5% to 8.56%, but not because companies are spending less. They're buying something else, and it signals how AI is really being built.
Only one sector moved against the economy. Here's why it's Healthcare.
While every other sector held steady or expanded despite volatility, Healthcare & Life Sciences cut spending by 2.8%. Will rising costs and funding uncertainty continue to squeeze budgets to drive more cuts?
Communicators and consultants
Research earns its keep only when it reaches the people who can act on it. Closing the gap between what the data says and what an organization should do about it is our mission.
