Robotic Process Automation Market Overview

Robotic process automation is a form of software technology that assists in automating repetitive tasks and processes by simulating human actions during interactions with digital systems and software. Robots can execute a diverse array of predefined actions, including screen comprehension, keystroke completion, system navigation, and data extraction. These software robots exhibit enhanced speed and consistency in task execution compared to humans without requiring breaks or rest periods. Robot-led automation has the potential to transform the modern workplace as significantly as machines did during the Industrial Revolution. Intelligent automation (IA) and robotic process automation will enhance business processes by making them more efficient and intelligent, although they use different approaches. Both methodologies offer substantial benefits compared to traditional IT implementations.

Robotic Process Automation Market Drivers and Opportunities

Cost Benefits Offered by Robotic Process Automation

Robotic process automation provides users with the ability to in-source and offshore RPA-managed services, which enables them to regain governance over the process without any surplus cost. The cost incurred might even be lesser than the offshore process without RPA.

The increasing implementation of robotic process automation in business operations helps businesses refine overall management of costs and enhance predictability of costs, subsequently allowing them to identify the opportunity to deploy the employees or staff on higher and strategic value roles. Further, a gradual shift of robotic process automation to mainstream operations supports several organizations in comfortable transitioning from traditional service providers to modern robotic process automation capabilities. Another significant factor that influences buyers to invest in RPA-driven deals is the rising pressure to sustain profitability, proper management of the increasing cost of offshoring, and regulatory issues. Thus, the cost benefits of deploying robotic process automation in business operations are fueling the growth of the market.

Rising Demand for Cognitive Robotic Process Automation

The growth of novel technologies such as cognitive computing, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to promote the evolution of robotic process automation tools faster. The application of intelligent technologies is predicted to create measures that would lead to the development of an improved framework that is able to incorporate every business process, from staffing and general expenses to execution and productivity.

Various end users are increasingly implementing AI and ML-based RPAs to enhance their operations by improving productivity. RPAs that feature ML and AI capabilities generate a new trend in data analysis and understanding. Furthermore, the advancements in robotic process automation, driven by AI and ML, are helping businesses achieve higher RoI and increased productivity. This encourages market players to increase their focus on advancing technological features. For instance, in August 2023, Zuci Systems, the leading player in niche AI and ML solutions for e-commerce, financial technology, and digital marketing, announced its collaboration with UiPath, a major player in the robotic process automation industry. This partnership supports the companies to help thousands of enterprises across multiple industries improve their business processes through automation. The partnership allows customers of Zuci to access UiPath bots for managing large, unstructured datasets, lower operating costs, and decrease time-to-market. In addition, the partnership will also offer end-to-end automation of key business processes, improving customer satisfaction, reducing risk, and delivering transactions faster, more accurately, securely, and at scale. Furthermore, the evolution of cognitive robotic process automation would not only expand the market scope but also boost the demand for new expertise. This would further create opportunities for robotic process automation service providers, particularly for consulting and training services. Moreover, industries such as financial services and manufacturing are expected to benefit most from the cognitive RPA. Thus, the rising demand for cognitive robotic process automation is expected to create a growth opportunity for the robotic process automation market.
