The Everest Group report recognizes that process mining is “gaining strong momentum globally and finding diverse applications across business functions and industries.” This adoption is being driven by process mining’s “potential to enhance operational efficiency, ensure process governance and compliance, and elevate the customer experience.”
According to Everest Group, the process mining market grew by 55-60% between 2019 and 2020 and by 75-80% from 2020 to 2021. In their report, ”The Evolution of Process Mining: Game-changing Innovations and Future Outlook,” the research firm predicted that by the end of 2023, the process mining software market would have a value of between $1.65-1.75 billion (US). Other industry experts and analysts predict similar growth.
A 2021 study conducted by Forrester and Celonis found that 61% of business decision-makers were planning to use or evaluating process mining at that time.
In a February 2022 report, Polaris Market Research predicted that the process mining software market will grow at a combined annual growth rate of 49% and be worth $11 billion (US) by 2030.
And in March 2023, Gartner® published its first Magic Quadrant™ for Process Mining Tools. According to the global research and consulting firm, “by 2025, 80% of organizations driven by the expectations of cost reduction and automation-derived enhanced process efficiency will embed process mining capabilities in at least 10% of their business operations.”
