[146 Pages Report] Intelligent process automation empowers businesses to enhance the conventional performance of their processes using knowledge-based workflows. It is used to streamline business processes and make complex decisions faster. Intelligent process automation is principally a combination of Artificial intelligence (AI) and automation.
The objective of this report is to determine and forecast the size of the global intelligent process automation (IPA) market by technology, component, application, vertical, and region from during the forecast period, and analyze the various macroeconomic and microeconomic factors that affect market growth. The intelligent process automation market was valued at USD 6.25 billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 13.75 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 12.9% from 2018 to 2023.
IT operation teams can benefit from the deployment of intelligent process automation solutions in different projects, including application and software development lifecycle management. These solutions also support various functions, such as user management, service ticket management, asset tracking, and software monitoring. Intelligent process automation solutions assist IT operation teams monitor and manage the IT lifecycle centrally and improve user experiences while reducing operational costs. In software and application development, lifecycle processes, intelligent process automation solutions provide users with a flexible solution that accelerates various development tasks, such as test automation. Benefits offered by intelligent process automation solutions are propelling the adoption of these solutions by IT operation teams. Based on application, the IT operations segment is projected to lead the intelligent process automation market during the forecast period.
In the BFSI industry, multiple systems are linked with each other by interfaces to enable the flow of transaction-related data. Automation solutions control and monitor these interfaces to ensure seamless execution of transactions and fix bottlenecks in workflows. These solutions improve the accuracy and efficiency of various processes and assist in regulatory and compliance reporting by collating data from multiple systems and conducting validation checks to prepare information for detailed analysis. Most banks are increasingly deploying intelligent automation solutions to enhance productivity, improve cost savings, and enhance customer experience. These solutions are also used to increase process efficiency and enable employees to focus on high-value projects. Based on vertical, the BFSI segment is projected to lead the intelligent process automation market from 2018 to 2023.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to have the highest CAGR in the intelligent process automation market during the forecast period, due to its growing technology adoption. This is due to the presence of rapidly growing economies, such as China and India. Rapid economic development, globalization, digitalization, and the increased adoption of cloud-based technologies are expected to drive the growth of the intelligent automation market in the Asia Pacific region.
Companies operating in this region benefit from flexible economic conditions, industrialization, and globalization-motivated policies of governments as well as the expanding digitalization in the region. Enterprises have readily adopted robotic process automation solutions in the past few years, and the trend is expected to gain traction with the growing presence of intelligent process automation providers, such as Blue Prism geographical expansion in the region. Such factors are expected to boost the growth of the intelligent process automation market.
According to a recent Zendesk online study, named The impact of Customer Service on Customer Lifetime Value, 66% of B2B and 52% of B2C customers stop buying after a bad customer service interaction. To reduce customer churn, companies are deploying AI-enabled solutions on customer service platforms for real-time self-service.AI technology empowers companies to change the way customer service solutions are designed to serve the dynamic customer needs. AI-assisted responses can reduce the need for human agents by adopting virtual agents or bots. AI, machine learning, and deep learning capabilities empower IT systems to understand the customer purchase intent, interact with different systems, and perform necessary tasks to address customer requirements. Virtual agents also synchronize the data across various systems to understand changing customer needs in a better way. An IPA bot programmed to retrieve the data can help resolve simple but common customer issues within a few seconds. Though customer requirements are changing continuously, AI technology and IPA tools are improving the IT systems to address such dynamic customer requirements, thereby driving the adoption of IPA tools.
During the digital transformation of a company, most of the critical processes and workflows are automated through the deployment of IPA solutions. Using IPA solutions for less critical services and occasionally used processes and workflows can prove to be an expensive exercise for the company. According to an article published on appliedAI.com in February 2018, automation of less critical processes will deliver less value than the initial pilot, and this can lead to automation-fatigue. According to the study The New Frontier of Automation: Enterprise RPA, published in December 2017 by UiPath (US), more than 50% of organizations are struggling with technical and deployment issues of automation technology.
With technological advancements such as AI-powered decision-making capabilities, intelligent thinking based on previous instances, and predictive analysis of future scenarios, companies are looking forward to building an automation-led digital transformation program. For instance, according to the study The New Frontier of Automation: Enterprise RPA, published in December 2017 by UiPath (US), digital transformation is improving how enterprises conduct business, requiring an increasingly broad range of technologies. 90% of survey respondents said that digital transformation is their top priority, and they are looking forward to adopting the digital workforce during the transformation. Knowledge collected through the digital workforce can be hard-coded into processes of the company using automation that enables the company to expand its abilities as it moves from record to report, analyze, and action.
For some organizations, the first challenge is knowing where to begin for IPA. Though IPA offers various benefits, many companies and their employees are used to the set processes and systems. Also, shifting toward automation can prove to be both overwhelming and cost-intensive for employees and the organization. For example, if a manual process is inexpensive for an organization in comparison to automating the process, an organization would not spend on automating that process since it would involve large-scale investment that would not generate adequate returns. Thereby, choosing the right time and right process to implement automation is acting as one of the challenges for the growth of the market.
