US BPM market worth over $8 billion in 2025

The US BPM market is projected to reach US$8.2 billion in 2025, with a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8 percent between 2025 and 2032, according to the U.S. Business Process Management Market Outlook by Coherent Market Insights.

This growth is fueled by the increasing adoption of cloud-native BPM platforms, artificial intelligence (AI) driven workflow automation, and intelligent process analytics, supporting US enterprises’ need for business continuity and process visibility in a post-pandemic, digitally connected economy.

As enterprises across sectors, from banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) and healthcare to manufacturing and retail, adopt process automation to improve efficiency, compliance, and decision-making, BPM solutions are becoming an indispensable part of US enterprise strategy.

Meanwhile, the rise of hyperautomation, low-code platforms, and AI-driven orchestration tools is reshaping how US organizations manage business processes, making BPM a core enabler of enterprise digital transformation and sustainable growth.

“The US BPM market is at a critical inflection point, driven by automation maturity, AI-led orchestration, and process intelligence integration,” commented Raj Shah, principal business strategist at Coherent Market Insights. “As enterprises move toward digital-first operating models, BPM is no longer just a support tool – it’s becoming the strategic backbone of organizational agility and efficiency.”
