The workflow automation market was valued at USD 4.26 Billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 18.45 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 23.56% between 2017 and 2023. Key factors such as ease in process with the installation of workflow automation tools, convergence of workflow automation with traditional business processes, focus on streamlining business processes, and cost efficiency through workflow automation are driving the workflow automation market.
The workflow automation market has been segmented on the basis of process, operation, deployment, organization size, offering, industry, and region. The market for workflow automation software market held the largest market share owing to the demand for software in structured data format in various organizations. The function of workflow automation software is mainly based on the optical character recognition (OCR); optical mark recognition (OMR); and text, audio, video, and other file formats. These formats are used to maintain the records of business processes so that they are easily recognizable by workflow automation, thus eliminating mundane business processes and reducing human intervention.
The automated solution market for workflow automation held the largest market share owing to the growth of banking, financial services, and insurance industries that have been using automated solution since 2010. Owing to the high degree of flexibility and scalability of the automated solution, it has witnessed widespread deployment in business environments with a greater requirement for data processing and workflow management. The availability of automated solutions capable of large-scale deployment in data management systems is a major driver for the market growth.
The workflow automation in the BFSI industry held the largest market share among all industries. In the BFSI industry, processes such as data entry for clearance and registration processes, updating systems and producing client information, gathering information from various systems and generating a renewal premium, processes such as order-to-cash (order management, invoicing and collections, etc.), record-to-report (fixed asset accounting), conduct compliance, legal and credit checks, and claims processing and general data entry are done by workflow automation in the insurance and banking sectors to facilitate the monotonous and time-consuming processes.
The workflow automation market by organization size for large enterprises held a larger market share. Large enterprises are apprehensive about their crucial organizational information and widely prefer on-premise deployment. With the option of deploying these solutions available on the cloud, the workflow automation market has seen an increase in the deployment of solutions by SMEs and large enterprises. An increasing number of large enterprises are deploying workflow automation, both on premise and cloud, which is driving the market growth.
The workflow automation market in North America held the largest market share in 2016. North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the overall market in 2017. BFSI; telecom and IT; and travel, hospitality, and transportation industries in the US, Canada, and Mexico are adopting workflow automation for different functions to better manage business processes. This has resulted in significant growth of the workflow automation market in North America.
The major restraint of the workflow automation market is data insecurity, which is hindering the implementation of workflow automation in the financial sector.
Top workflow automation companies that provide workflow automation software and services globally are IBM Corporation (US), Oracle Corporation (US), Pegasystems Inc. (US), Software AG (Germany), Xerox Corporation (US), Appian Corporation (US), Bizagi (UK), Ipsoft Inc. (US), Newgen Software Technologies Limited (India), and Nintex Global Limited (US). These companies are focusing on product launches and developments, acquisitions, and collaborations strategies to enhance their service offerings and expand their business.
Top companies are adopting an organic approach toward improving their position in the workflow automation market, by either improving their existing portfolio or by adding new offerings. For instance, in 2016, IBM Corporation with its partner Box launched a new workflow solution Box Relay. Box Relay would facilitate employee in a business to build, manage, and track custom or pre-built workflows. In 2017, Oracle Corporation launched 4 cloud-based applications to help supply chain companies automate their operations, which will enable companies to automate their workflow operations related to asset monitoring, production and fleet monitoring, and connected workers. In 2016, Pegasystems introduced Pega Robotic Automation in its Pega 7 Platform to facilitate intelligent optimization capabilities for organizations.
