The global robotic process automation market size was valued at nearly USD 2.77 Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 35.58 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 32.8% during 2023 – 2031. Robotic process automation (RPA) involves the use of technology to programme computer software or a robot to record and comprehend current applications for rule-based transaction processing, update data, trigger reactions, and enable communication with other digital systems. It is the use of advanced software to perform a wide range of high-volume, repetitive tasks, and length process that take a long time to complete and are sometimes tiresome to carry out.
The software performs highly intelligent functions that can replace human efforts and behaviour for the deployment and execution of certain tasks. In other words, it learns the rules on its own and has its ability to operate a variety of tasks and operations including account opening and closing, accomplishing requests for citation and suggestions, IT system testing and analysis, as well as handling billing and consumer service department queries. Due to wide advancement in technology for these operations, which are well-defined, repetitive, and rule-based, RPA is extensively used in healthcare, BPO, finance, and insurance.
