Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.
The form automation software research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides form automation software market statistics, including the form automation software industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with a form automation software market share, detailed form automation software market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the form automation software industry. This form automation software market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The form automation software market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $16.94 billion in 2024 to $20.44 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased need for efficiency, rise in demand for digital transformation, growth in volume of paperwork, cost reduction initiatives, and emergence of robotic process automation (RPA).
The form automation software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.47 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to enhanced security features, customizable workflow automation, focus on user experience (UX), interoperability with other software systems, and industry-specific solutions development. Major trends in the forecast period include blockchain integration for data security, shift towards low-code or no-code platforms, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven automation, adoption of hybrid cloud solutions, and rise of intelligent document processing (IDP).
The forecast of 19.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The US digital transformation space may feel the pinch as tariffs on cloud-based APIs and integration hardware slow down the expansion of form automation software across industries. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The burgeoning uptake of cloud computing is poised to propel the form automation market forward. Cloud-based services entail the provision of computing resources and applications via the Internet, enabling users to remotely access and utilize them without requiring extensive hardware or infrastructure on-site. This surge in cloud computing adoption can be attributed to factors like scalability, cost-efficiency, enhanced collaboration, flexibility, and the escalating need for remote data and application access. Form automation software plays a pivotal role in transitioning traditional paper-based processes to digital platforms, thereby streamlining workflows, boosting efficiency, and fostering cloud computing utilization by diminishing reliance on physical infrastructure and facilitating seamless integration with cloud platforms. For instance, Eurostat, the Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, reported in December 2023 that the proportion of enterprises procuring cloud computing services in the EU had risen by 4.2% points from 2021 to 2023, with 42.5% opting for services such as e-mail, file storage, and office software. Hence, the escalating adoption of cloud computing is propelling the form automation market's expansion.
Prominent players in the form automation software market are intensifying their efforts to develop cutting-edge solutions, including online forms and workflow automation solutions, to facilitate efficient data collection and lead generation. Online forms and workflow automation solutions encompass software platforms tailored to streamline the creation, management, and processing of digital forms, along with automating associated workflows and tasks. For instance, in September 2023, Jotform Inc., a US-based online form builder company, unveiled Jotform for Salesforce on Salesforce AppExchange. This platform offers integrated, robust form automation, a no-code form builder, an e-signature tool, a mobile app builder, approval workflows, an automated report generator, Salesforce integration, and object mapping. This advancement marks a significant technological stride in form automation software, delivering seamless Salesforce integration, versatile solutions for diverse industries, heightened efficiency, and user-friendly tools, thereby fostering innovation and adoption in the market.
