The global robotic process automation (RPA) market is expected to reach $8.6 billion by 2023, according to P&S Intelligence.
The implementation of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive learning, reducing cost of automation software and services, ease of doing business, and increasing demand for virtual workforce are the key drivers propelling the RPA market, globally.
Insights into market segments
Based on operation, the rule-based solutions category held the larger share in the RPA market in 2017 and is also expected to grow at the faster CAGR during 2018–2023. This is due to the applicability of rule-based processes in a wide range of applications, such as office tasks, customer service, and IT support.
Based on enterprise size, the SME category is expected to witness the faster growth in the RPA market, at a CAGR of 37.0%, during the forecast period, and surpass large enterprises by 2022 in terms of revenue. This is mainly attributed to the increase in the demand for advanced process automation technologies, globally, in order to boost the operational efficiency of companies.
Greater ease of doing business driving the market
RPA facilitates the integration of automation capabilities that can imitate human interaction with websites, portals, Excel worksheets, and emails to automate tasks. The implementation of RPA enables businesses to shift their focus from repetitive tasks to those requiring emotional intelligence and sound reasoning and judgment. RPA enables enterprises to focus more on strategies instead of operations, thereby resulting in a greater ease of doing business. Thus, these advantages are leading to increased adoption of the technology, thereby driving the robotic process automation market across the globe.
Reduction in workforce cost encouraging RPA adoption
The need to reduce operational costs is a key driving factor for the RPA market on a global scale. Robotic process automation enables enterprises to form a virtual workforce capable of working on routine and mundane tasks with high efficiency, thus eliminating the need for human intervention. It offers scalability, besides reducing the operational cost by as much as 50%, as virtual workforce has the capability to work round the clock.
Unlike humans, who can only work for limited hours and need a fixed number of leaves on an annual basis, the RPA system works continuously, thereby resulting in a reduced overall production cost and increased cyber security and customer satisfaction, in turn, driving the RPA market.
