[166 Pages Report] Digital process automation solutions and services offer crucial benefits to enterprises. These benefits include lowering inevitable losses, creating new opportunities, saving costs, and increasing the efficiency of business processes. The increasing demand for automation and the growing adoption of low code automation platform are expected to drive the growth of the digital process automation market. The market also faces challenges such as compatibility issues with existing business process applications and services. The major factor that is said to be restraining the growth of the digital process automation market is data security and privacy issue as process automation deals with personal data of an individual. Various opportunities present in this market include an increasing demand for streamlining business processes and integration of AI and ML.
The global digital process automation market is projected to grow from USD 6.77 billion in 2018 to USD 12.61 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 13.3% from 2018 to 2023.
By component, the services segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period
Services form an integral part of the software life cycle that includes deployment, integration, product upgrade , maintenance, training, and consulting. The services are categorized into managed services and professional services. The managed services are valued based on their use and are provided by third-party vendors. The cost incurred while using the managed services is limited to the time and amount of their use. Professional services are obtained directly from parent companies. These services can be provided in the form of advisory, implementation, and support, whichinclude assistance provided during installation and maintenance activities. The demand for advisory services would increase, as the adoption of technology-based software solutions is expected to increase.
By service, the managed services segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period
Managed services are provided by third parties to run and manage IT operations and infrastructure of organizations as per service-level agreements. Managed service providers take the complete responsibility of customers needs and deliver optimum services. From the digital process automation standpoint, the managed service providers run the digital process automation solution or framework for helping enterprises reach their business goals. The managed services help enterprises focus on their core competencies rather than implementing and managing the digital process automation framework. These services offer various benefits, such as reduced operational cost and improved operational efficiency
Supply chain automation segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
In recent times, the supply chain function has been greatly benefiting organizations. However, there are areas within the supply chain function where slow and manual processes exist. The globalization of business has led enterprises to deploy the digital process automation solution for optimizing their supply chain processes. Automation enables organizations to capture and process orders effectively, starting right from the initial phase of planning, configuring, pricing, and order delivery. In todays digital age, customer experience plays a vital role as a differentiator among service providers. The effective use of the digital process automation solution ensures service quality required to increase and retain customers while eliminating process inefficiencies to reduce overall costs. Additionally, it offers visibility into multi-enterprise supply chain networks of suppliers and partners, so that businesses can achieve success.
Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The market size in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The digital process automation market is expected to grow considerably in APAC, due to the shift in the thought process of enterprises, from reducing operational costs to providing an enhanced customer experience.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing adoption of the low-code automation platform
Digital process automation helps organizations transform the way they operate by streamlining their workflow to drive critical business initiatives. The solutions and services empower organizations to rapidly develop and deploy innovative applications or solutions with a zero need for new code. Low-code development brings business and IT together to deliver new customer-facing applications quickly and collaboratively. The traditional method of software/application development is time-consuming, and organizations have to rely upon software developers. Furthermore, the traditional methods delimit an organization in terms of responding rapidly toward market shifts and changing customer expectations at an enterprise scale. Low-code automation platform empowers organizations to constantly improve their customer experience, innovate more rapidly, and drive increased revenue.
Restraint: Lack of technical expertise
Organizations, nowadays, use advanced technologies, such as the industrial internet, and advanced analytics, which are complex and require in-depth technological knowledge. However, process automation can also get more complex, depending on the type of automation used. To use digital process automation solutions and services, a person needs to have technical and analytical skills that would make him/her aware of the latest solutions being used. Many end-users do not have resources with the required skills and knowledge about automation. This lack of understanding is expected to act as a key challenge for the growth of the market. It is mandatory that all the employees working with data are skilled in data science and automation. Furthermore, business knowledge and appropriate training are also needed to help build a data-driven and automated culture. Thus, the technical expertise that is needed to understand complex digital process automation solutions is expected to act as one of the biggest restraints for a majority of business end-users.
Opportunity: Integration of AI and machine learning
Recognizing the need to innovate and understanding the limitations of the existing technologies, organizations, regardless of their size, structure, or business model have started implementing digital process automation solutions. Digital process automation has unlocked new opportunities for companies and facilitated them to expand their product and service portfolios and offer multiple solutions on a centralized platform. Robotic process automation built on the core of AI and machine learning gives a competitive edge to organizations by eliminating manual work, staffing costs, and human errors. Moreover, robotic process automation offers a digital workforce, which mimics and performs tasks as humans do. It also empowers organizations to improve their accuracy in all their business functions.
Challenge: Integration with existing systems and tools
Along with time, organizations have started integrating digital process automation solutions and services. However, system complexities and implementation costs are still the major challenges faced by organizations while integrating these solutions with their existing systems. For efficient digital process automation, the existing legacy systems need to be tightly coupled with new systems. Due to the lack of resources, few organizations still rely on their existing systems that use old technologies, where manual processes lead to a high error rate and long turnaround time. In addition to this, there might be many legacy applications that may not be compatible with new systems or may require more integration effort. Moreover, because legacy systems underuse are mostly on-premises, integrating these systems with new cloud-based systems might act as a challenge to the adoption of digital process automation solutions and services.
