Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

The global robotic process automation (RPA) market size is expected to reach $3.97 billion by 2025, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. It is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 31.1% over the forecast period. Different organizations in different sectors are increasingly challenged by the growing competition due to shift in technology and consumer preferences.

The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation solutions has enabled organizations to tackle such challenges while meeting consumer expectations. Moreover, these technologies focus on enhancing the employee experience rather than replacing them. One of such technologies gaining rapid traction is RPA, which handles repetitive and rule-based tasks without human intervention. Thus, RPA enables organizations to automate repetitive functions and focus more on core business tasks.

In Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (SMEs) that face business limitations, in terms of financial and human resources allocation, the implementation of RPA is expected to provide growth avenues. As the deployment of robotic process automation can assist an organization to keep its operations as lean as possible. Also, the use of automation technologies has become a crucial factor to gain long-term profitable growth. These software bots exhibit the maximum efficiency and can work 24/7 through the year on their assigned task, which results in achieving accelerated productivity.

Moreover, deployment of RPA increases the quality of services to the end-users as it eliminates the potential of human error that results in inconsistency in process execution. Furthermore, RPA offers organizations with comprehensive intelligence and assists the users with actionable information and better insights. The role of technology in a complex business environment is evolving continuously. The ever-increasing stringency of regulations and necessary compliance functions hamper employee efficiency.

With the deployment of RPA, organizations can achieve greater compliance. Furthermore, the RPA processes are customizable aimed at operating with the existing, as well as new standards and regulations. Thus, automation technologies can help organizations streamline different structured processes at a lower cost.
