Robotic Process Automation in Finance Industry Had a Positive Effect Due to Acceleration of Digital Transformation during COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

This recent shift was promoted by measures connected with the COVID-19 outbreak as the number of employees in financial institutions experiencing forced remote work increased and caused the boost of the digital change at the same time. RPA was established as being essential for the possibility of maintaining the functionality of the financial services during the COVID-19 crisis. Due to decentralized employee working environments, RPA proved beneficial in minimizing the amount of working hours that was consumed in processes that were traditionally conducted in an office environment.

LATEST TRENDS

"Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to Drive Market Growth"

Perhaps the most key development in RPA for Finance is the use of AI and ML in the technology. Classic RPA exposes bots to work on the activities that execute predefined patterns and can now incorporate new features such as AI and ML therefore allowing the bots to work on new analytic activities where decisions have to be made and also natural language processing. In finance, it enables increased user-driven automation throughout the field of fraud detection, risk management, customer services and even financial analysis. Further, since RPA is underpinned by AI, it can gain further sophistication over time due to the technology learning from data.

ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION IN PROCESS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Automated Solution, Decision Support and Management Solution and Interaction Solution.

• Automated Solution- Automated solutions in finance are a means of applying RPA to perform routine, low-value work that does not involve decision making.
• Decision Support and Management Solution- Decision support and Management solutions integrating RPA with analytics, Artificial intelligence and machine learning to help in decision making analysis.
• Interaction Solution-  Interactions solutions, in turn, use RPA in order to automate customer and stakeholder communication and engagement across different touchpoints.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Banking, Financial Services and Insurance.

• Banking- In terms of customer onboarding, RPA reduces human efforts through identification of the customers from the legal IDs and proof of address, validation of the details and their entry to the bank’s system. This greatly reduces the time taken to process and lays the foundation for a higher standard of accuracy.
• Financial Services- RPA helps to automate the trades and confirmations, settlement cycle in capital markets. They are able to analyze trade data, check the trading documents, and search for exceptions, or violations of the rules in real time.
• Insurance - RPA also systemizes the data gathering that involves claims documentation, and validating the claims. By utilizing bots, claims related information can be identified and retrieved from claims documents; checked against policies and policies; and preliminary approval/rejection can be determined, and all in far less time as compared to the traditional claims processing time, and with increased rate of customer satisfaction.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market Dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Cost Reduction and Operational Efficiency to Drive Market Advancement"

One of the key driving factors in the Robotic Process Automation in Finance market growth is Cost Reduction and Operational Efficiency. Firstly, the extensive application of RPA in the finance sector depends on the goal to minimize its operational costs due to full automation of routine and time-consuming operations. Activities like data capturing, bookkeeping, analysis and comparison, completion of compliance checklist etc. can be executed without much use of manpower, hence the possible errors are minimized. This also leads to high efficiency of key process indicators, reduced overall response time to customers and overall overhead, better utilization of resources and again, good news for the already budget sensitive finance industry.

"Increasing Demand for Automation in Finance to Expand the Market"

This arises from the facts that the financial transactions are becoming more complex and frequent and the world is demanding more of automations in all its facets to increase efficiency and resolutions. In more developed financial services as well as when using purely digital channels, such as the internet, the capacity to analyze large amounts of data without people’s involvement has become a key requirement. Consequently, these tasks can actually be more efficiently undertaken using RPA than conventional manual workloads, thereby enabling financial institutions to grow at scale without necessarily requiring more people power.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"High Initial Implementation Costs Poses Potential Impediments to Market Growth"

In many cases, the integration of RPA within the financial industry implies high initial costs. The expenses associated with acquiring RPA software or licenses, developing and enhancing the required IT infrastructure, and training the firm’s employees can be significantly high to bear, particularly for a small-ticket financial firm or a nascent and less-funded business venture. Further, there may be some extended costs in relation to compatibility with existing systems and structures which could be expensive to implement for many organizations.

OPPORTUNITY

"Increased Demand for Operational Efficiency to create opportunity for the product in the Market"

This is especially important as financial institutions bear a common challenge of operating with reduced costs and integrating the aspect of productivity in operations, and RPA comes in to offer automation of mundane, repetitive tasks. The procedures like invoicing, reconciliation, and other tedious account work can be automated saving a lot of time for humans, they can focus on strategic work. Indeed, with the ongoing nature of the desire for increased operational efficiency, the market for RPA in the finance sector is set to grow.

CHALLENGE

"Integration with Legacy Systems could be a potential challenge for consumer "

Most financial organizations still use legacy systems they inherited from previous years, and those systems are not well adapted for automation tools such as RPA. The integration of these tools with legacy systems can be challenging and developmental work heavily reliant on RPA may be costly, time-consuming or both. The technical incompatibility of RPA tools with software architecture and infrastructure that is already in place may cause delay, system crashes and disruptions.
