Abstract

Material management is an essential aspect of corporate operations, affecting efficiency, cost optimization, and supply chain performance. This study offers a bibliometric examination of material management research in the fields of business, management, and accounting. Publications from 2020 to 2025 were systematically evaluated utilizing the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework to guarantee a thorough and organized selection procedure. The analysis, derived from 5,504 English-language publications, examines critical issues like inventory management, procurement methods, supply chain efficacy, and cost control. The research delineates significant trends, notable writers, and essential journals, providing critical insights into the transforming function of material management within contemporary corporate practices. The findings underscore study deficiencies and prospects for future investigations, acting as a reference for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to improve material management techniques in a progressively dynamic global market. Keyword: Material Management, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Risk Management.
