Verdantix Green Quadrant On Product Compliance: An Established Market Facilitating Innovation And Business Unit Convergence

The recently released 2025 Verdantix Green Quadrant on product compliance evaluates the capabilities and market momentum of 11 prominent product compliance software solution providers. The analysis combined a 119-point questionnaire, one-and-a-half hour live demonstrations from the majority of vendors and more than a decade of technology market research around product compliance. Verdantix also conducted interviews with vendors’ customers and reviewed the data from our global survey of 304 EHS decision-makers. We found that:

• Six vendors place in the Leaders’ Quadrant.

  In today’s modern product compliance market, numerous vendors compete for buyer attention, across a diverse set of industry and sub-industry verticals. For inclusion in the Green Quadrant, we considered firms with revenues exceeding $5 million, offering a broad (but specialized) range of capabilities, with the necessary resources to meet the requirements for compliance not only today, but in the future. Of the 11 solution providers benchmarked, six qualified for the Leaders’ Quadrant: 3E, Assent, Benchmark Gensuite, SAP, Sphera and UL Solutions.

• Product compliance is the silent convergence point of multiple business units.

  EHS and ESG are often seen as one of the main convergence points of risk, legal and sustainability functions. However, product compliance plays a similar convergent role. In product compliance, the R&D, legal, sustainability, EHS, IT and commerical departments must work together to ensure that products meet compliance requirements – at a mission-critical stage – so that operations can continue. Misses, or instances of non-compliance, can slow, delay or even derail operations. Should incidents occur, there can be serious ramifications, such as litigation, large fines and a loss of trust from both end-consumers and other businesses operating in conjunction with the non-compliant entity.

• Market drivers are regulation-heavy, with prime opportunities for advanced solution applications. 
  Much of the innovation in product compliance is focused on the need for rapid assessment of large amounts of data, to infer compliance levels with both internal and external regulations – ranging from government-issued regulations, to voluntary or self-defined parameters. To quickly rectify non-compliance issues, firms are applying advanced technology to assess suppliers, identify alternative parts and evaluate new market requirements. Businesses are also seeking to interconnect and integrate data sources, such as SDS sheets for material information, and to understand the related sustainability data points of materials, to increase the amount of data available to them as they strive to make well-informed decisions.
