AP/AR Automation Market Demand Drivers: What’s Powering Industry Growth?
The AP/AR automation market is expected to experience growth driven by the rising demand for automated and secured payable processes. This refers to a method designed to minimize human involvement and remove risky tasks from trade payables or accounts payables. AP/AR automation reduces the need for extensive data entry, accelerates operations such as payments and invoice matching, and lowers tangible expenses including document storage, postage, and other costs. For example, a report from the Institute of Financial Operations & Leadership (IFOL), a UK-based educational institute within financial operations, stated that 9% of accounts payable (AP) departments were fully automated as of February 2023. This figure is predicted to increase significantly, with two-thirds of finance professionals expecting their AP departments to be fully automated by 2025. Consequently, the increasing demand for automated and secured payable processes is poised to boost the AP/AR automation market.
