Hyperautomation Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Industry 4.0 & smart manufacturing trends: The increasing trend of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing is creating a profitable environment for hyperautomation companies. The International Federation of Robotics reported that in 2023, the number of working robots worldwide grew by 9.7% to 4,281,585. The countries with the most robots in use are China (41%), Japan (10.2%), the United States (8.9%), South Korea (8.9%), and Germany (6.3%). The integration of smart technologies in the manufacturing and logistics sectors is expected to attract numerous companies in the market during the study period. Asia Pacific is estimated to lead the investments for smart factory developments in the coming years.
• Global rise in digital transformation budgets: The governments’ increasing investments in digital transformation are set to increase the installation of hyperautomation systems. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and OECD analysis reveal that the digital transformation budgets are booming across all G20 economies. The government of India allocated around USD 1.2 billion over five years for AI and automation infrastructure under the Digital India program, revealed by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) in March 2025. Thus, the developing markets are most opportunistic for hyperautomation solution producers.
• Industry-specific hyperautomation trends: Hyperautomation is widely used in the healthcare sector as it aids in streamlining patient data management and supports telemedicine workflows. It also helps in automating insurance claims, which increases their sales growth.  Hospitals and clinics also benefit from reduced administrative load, faster billing cycles, and improved patient care coordination through the application of hyperautomation technologies.

Challenges

• Infrastructure limitations: The infrastructure gaps in the poor and developing markets are hampering the installation of hyperautomation technologies. The limited internet connectivity also acts as a drawback for the employment of hyperautomation systems. The World Bank report states that in 2022, around 36% of Sub-Saharan Africa had access to stable broadband. This directly reflects the limitation of real-time industrial automation.
• Cross-border data transfer restrictions: The strict data protection rules and policies are expected to hinder cloud automation to some extent. For instance, India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 does not allow the cross-border flow of data. The variation in laws in different regions is creating a big hurdle for innovation for hyperautomation companies. The delay in new market entries also limits the earning opportunities from the latest trends.
