The human capital management market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In previous years, there has been a swift expansion in the human capital management market size. The market, which was $23.89 billion in 2024, is predicted to reach $26.31 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%.
Factors contributing to the growth during the historical period include the introduction of cloud-based HR management software, substantial advancement in the e-commerce industry, and rapid globalisation.
The human capital management market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market size of human capital management is predicted to undergo swift expansion. By 2029, it is projected to escalate to a value of $39.32 billion with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.6%.
This growth during the forecast period can be linked to the rise in the use of cloud-based techniques, the increasing urban proliferation and escalating investments. Dominant trends in this forecast period encompasses talent acquisition powered by AI, technological progress, innovation in products, video-based recruitment, Learning Experience Platforms (LEPs), along with platforms promoting employee efficacy.
The growth of the human capital management market is anticipated to be fueled by the incorporation of robotic process automation (RPA). This refers to the utilization of software robots to perform a range of repetitive tasks automatically. The benefits of RPA include time efficiency, enhanced focus on staff development, retention, and policy enactment. RPA supports human capital management by automating redundant tasks like compensation management, payroll administration, the onboarding process of new employees, and regulatory reporting. For example, Flobotics, a software firm in the US, mentioned in January 2024 that by 2022, 85% of the large and very large enterprises had taken on the use of Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Consequently, the assimilation of robotic process automation is driving the expansion of the human capital management market.
