BFSI Segment Emerges Market Leader due of Customer-focused Banks

The global market for workflow automation and optimization software can be segmented depending upon end-use into education, banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), transportation and logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications and information technology (IT), etc. The BFSI sector, of them, held a dominant 21.8% share in the overall revenue in 2016. Expanding at a strong 8.3% CAGR between 2017 and 2025, the segment is expected to continue holding on to its dominant position. The primary reason behind it is banks increasingly leveraging enhanced fraud management solutions, mobile banking, smart automated teller machines (ATMs), etc. to offer better experience of their customers. In the years ahead too, the BFSI segment is predicted to retain its dominant position by holding 24.8% share in the market.

In terms of growth rate, however, the education segment is expected to emerge as a winner by clocking a solid 9.5% CAGR between 2017 and 2025.

Thrust on Automation by Different Organizations Propels North America Market

Geography-wise, Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA) are key regions in the global workflow automation and optimization software market. Among them, North America contributes the most to revenue because of massive automation of business processes in the region and also because of the copious number of vendors of workflow automation domiciled in the region. The North America market grossed a revenue of US$279.6 mn in 2016 and rising at a CAGR of 8.6% it will likely gross US$566 mn in 2025. Europe trails North America vis-à-vis revenue.

Asia Pacific is another key region which is slated to outpace all others in terms of growth rate from 2017 to 2025. The growth in the region is expected to be brought about by the quick uptake of workflow automation and optimization software across different industry verticals. Currently, on-premise workflow automation and optimization software segment generates maximum revenue in the market in the region, but going forward, the cloud workflow automation and optimization software will likely expand at a greater pace owing to their rapid adoption by the healthcare, BFSI, and telecommunications sector.

Prominent players operating in the global market for workflow automation and optimization software are Xerox Corporation, Oracle Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, SAS Institute, Inc., SAP SE, OnviSource, Inc., Boston Software Systems, Flexera Software LLC, JDA Software Group, Inc., and Reva Solutions.

High Adoption of Business Process Automation to Drive Workflow Automation and Optimization Software Market

Multinational engineering behemoths dominate the global workflow automation and optimization software market.  About half of the market share is made up of the top five companies and they are actively striving to outperform each other through product innovation. The success of business process automation and growing adoption of third platform technology are likely to foster growth of the global workflow automation and optimization software market in the years to come. Organizations are being lured to digitize their operations to avail these benefits.

However, cyber-attacks are putting a strain on the demand for process automation and optimization applications. Smart industry leaders are working to create more stable and secured options in order to combat the threat.

Threat of Cyber Attacks Pose a Threat toward the Expansion of the Market

The increasing proliferation of third platform technology and the rising demand for business process automation are likely to drive the demand for workflow automation and optimization applications. Business Process Management or BPM comprises software tools for workflow integration and optimization (BPM). It is a technological solution that allows organizations to optimize their systems and operate more effectively. It is developed for use in various end-use verticals. Businesses can make use of workflow automation and optimization tools to reduce errors made by human beings and optimize collaboration. Several companies have begun to digitize their corporate operations as a result of these benefits. These factors are likely to work in favor of the global workflow automation and optimization software market in the years to come.

The danger of cyber attacks, mostly due to the limitations of TCP/IP-based cloud networks, is a roadblock to the rapid adoption of process automation and optimization tools. Vendors in the industry are attempting to address the problem by developing more stable options for their consumers. Apart from that, workers' unwillingness to automate business operations is also limiting demand expansion.
