This growth can be attributed to the increasing need to minimize human errors, enhance work efficiency, reduce overhead expenses, improve the accuracy and reliability of business processes, and reduce operational costs, the increasing adoption of advanced technologies, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), in business processes, and the rising demand for robotic process automation in the BFSI, healthcare, and transportation & logistics sectors to meet their operational demands.

Based on deployment mode, the global workflow automation market is broadly segmented into on-premise deployments and cloud-based deployments. In 2024, the on-premise deployments segment is expected to account for a larger share of over 52.0% of the global workflow automation market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to factors such as the growing demand for systems that can automate and execute repetitive tasks and the rising need for lower latency and improved data sovereignty.

However, the cloud-based deployments segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is driven by the increasing utilization of cloud-based workflow automation, the enhanced flexibility provided by cloud-based deployments, the growing adoption of cloud-based solutions by small and medium-sized enterprises, and the rising demand for cost-effective subscription models and automated threat detection solutions.

Based on organization size, the global workflow automation market is broadly segmented into SMEs and large enterprises. In 2024, the large enterprises segment is expected to account for the larger share of over 60.0% of the global workflow automation market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the growing demand for consistency across various operations within large enterprises, the increasing focus on digital transformation initiatives, and the rising adoption of robotic process automation to streamline repetitive tasks

However, the SMEs segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid growth in this segment is attributed to the increasing significance of digital solutions, including CRM and ERP platforms, for enhancing productivity and the growing awareness among SMEs regarding the benefits of automating business processes.

Based on application, the global workflow automation market is broadly segmented into human resources, finance, procurement, IT service requests, sales, marketing, and other applications. In 2024, the finance segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 29.0% of the global workflow automation market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the rising need to improve financial services and document management, an increasing focus on enhancing customer experiences, the growing implementation of RPA to reduce labor costs and improve operational efficiency, and the widespread use of digital banking solutions for real-time transaction processing and data accuracy in financial operations. Moreover, the finance segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on sector, the global workflow automation market is broadly segmented into IT & telecommunications, automotive, transportation & logistics, healthcare, energy & utilities, manufacturing, retail, BFSI, government & defense, and other sectors. In 2024, the manufacturing segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 24.0% of the global workflow automation market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the rising demand for computer-integrated manufacturing automation, a growing emphasis on boosting manufacturing production efficiency and supply chain optimization through automation, the rising adoption of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing technologies, and the increasing deployment of robotic process automation (RPA) for executing a wide range of manual tasks such as stacking, painting, welding, polishing, labeling, and assembly.

However, the BFSI segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the increasing need for seamless communication with customers to enhance workflow agility and customer experience, the rising demand for fraud detection solutions in the BFSI sector, the implementation of RPA to improve efficiency and work speed, the increasing adoption of online financial services, and the growing need to automate numerous time-consuming, repetitive processes like account opening, the KYC process, customer services, and more.
