Dublin, Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Hospitality Property Management Software (PMS) - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2026-2031)" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Hospitality Property Management Software (PMS) market is poised for significant growth, with projections estimating its size to reach USD 2.44 billion by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.05% from 2026. This upsurge is fueled by the transformation from legacy systems to advanced cloud-based solutions and the integration of artificial intelligence tools for revenue management. The shift to cloud deployment has notably redefined cost structures, eliminating the need for on-premise hardware and cutting integration time through API-first architectures. Such advancements have allowed independent hotels and homestay operators to adopt modules once exclusive to global chains, thereby expanding the total addressable market and intensifying competition. In parallel, digitalization initiatives in Asia-Pacific and a focus on advanced features in North America value have bolstered the PMS market's geographic growth.
Market Trends and Insights
Growing Adoption Among Small and Medium Scale PropertiesSmall operators increasingly view PMS solutions not as optional upgrades, but as strategic imperatives. Subscription-based pricing and simplified onboarding have catalyzed this shift, with independent hotels noting substantial revenue increases after cloud PMS implementations. These solutions, which integrate channel management with guest-experience functionalities, help SMEs redirect capital towards marketing and innovation, enhancing brand viability. Vendors have expedited feature adoption across lower-tier properties by introducing self-service implementation wizards, contributing to market expansion.
Shift to Cloud-Based SaaS ModelsCloud-native PMS suites offer substantial advantages, including automatic updates, security, and high-level compliance, while eliminating the need for hardware refresh cycles. High-profile migrations demonstrate the feasibility of transitioning even enterprise-level portfolios swiftly. Cloud solutions enhance decision-making through real-time analytics, centralize disaster recovery, ease audit processes, and reduce insurance costs. These models support a shift from capex-heavy deployment to predictable subscription plans, further accelerating market penetration.
Integration Challenges with Legacy SystemsMany heritage properties still rely on outdated, bespoke systems, complicating seamless data exchange. The integration of these systems often exceeds budgetary constraints and prolongs timelines, deterring timely upgrades despite evident return on investment (ROI). To address these challenges, vendors are expanding low-code integration tools, though gaps persist, limiting near-term market growth.
