Dubai, UAE — According to Gartner, by 2026, 50% of large enterprises will use an Integrated Risk Management (IRM) solution set to manage risk and compliance issues, up from 20% in 2021. Gartner also notes that IRM is evolving from traditional GRC platforms by offering a more real-time, and dynamic view of risk that aligns with business outcomes. Based on MarketsandMarkets Research, the global IRM market is expected to reach $19.4 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of over 14%, driven by increased regulatory complexity and digital transformation.
