The growing demand for business process automation is expected to drive the expansion of the robotic process automation (RPA) market in the future. Business process automation (BPA) involves the use of technology to streamline and automate routine, manual tasks within organizational processes. The increasing demand for automation is fueled by the need for greater efficiency, cost savings, and enhanced productivity in today’s competitive and rapidly evolving business environment. Robotic process automation (RPA) meets this demand by providing advanced technological solutions that simplify operations and improve efficiency. RPA enables organizations to automate repetitive, rule-based tasks such as data entry, invoice processing, and report generation, tasks that were traditionally carried out manually. For example, in July 2024, the World Bank Group, a US-based international financial institution, reported that the total project cost across 156 investments amounted to approximately $6.172 billion, including borrower co-financing. The World Bank contributed $5.283 billion, with around $1.226 billion dedicated to financial management information systems (FMIS) components within these projects. As a result, the increasing demand for business process automation is driving the growth of the RPA market.

Major companies operating in the robotic process automation (RPA) market are developing advanced solutions such as RPA (Robotics Processing Automation) technology to faster purchase processes for repeat customers. The technology enhances operational efficiency by automating repetitive tasks, reducing errors, and increasing productivity in business processes. For instance, in December 2022, Liquid Payments Inc. (LQ), a US-based omnichannel healthcare payments platform, launched a One-Click Payment integration based on robotic process automation (RPA), providing medical and dental practices with enhanced ease, reliability, and efficiency in processing patient payments. This solution is tailored to optimize the payment experience for both patients and practices and can be seamlessly integrated into any healthcare practice management system. The recent update includes a refined integration layer, further enhancing the connection between patient payments and the underlying Practice Management System (PMS). The outcome is a streamlined and efficient process, ensuring faster and more accurate patient payments for healthcare practices.

In March 2022, SS&C Technologies Holdings Inc., a US-based cloud-based provider of financial services technology solutions acquired Blue Prism Group Plc for $1.6 billion. The acquisition will strengthen SS&C's standing as a premier provider of software and services for the financial services and healthcare sectors, showcasing extensive proficiency in intelligent automation and robotic process automation (RPA). Blue Prism Group plc is a UK-based company that develops robotic process automation software that delivers intelligent automation empowering digital workforces.
