AI Insights
💸 RPA revenue hit $3.8B in 2024, up 18% YoY — outperforming broader enterprise software growth.
🤖 750% surge in AI agent–related inquiries shows where the industry is headed: from bots to agents.
🧠 By 2027, 60% of RPA vendors will embed “computer use” capabilities, shifting from deterministic to probabilistic UI automation.
🔥 RPA is at a tipping point. Are you ready for what’s next?
Gartner’s 2025 Magic Quadrant for Robotic Process Automation reveals a market in transformation — from tactical task automation to agentic automation platforms.
Notable shifts:
👉 UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Microsoft, and SS&C Blue Prism lead the pack — but even they are pivoting toward agentic AI and broader orchestration of humans, bots and agents.
👉 Traditional RPA tools are being reimagined as enablers within larger automation platforms (think BOAT: Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies).
👉 Some vendors are drifting away from core RPA by emphasizing their broader AI and automation platform, potentially alienating buyers looking for a point solution.
💡 Key takeaway:
In 2025, your RPA vendor choice will be shaped less by features — and more by your broader AI and automation strategy.
Are you looking for bots that simply follow instructions — or intelligent agents that can plan, execute, adapt, and learn?
