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 invoice processing software market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides invoice processing software market statistics, including invoice processing software industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a invoice processing software market share, detailed invoice processing software market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the invoice processing software industry. This invoice processing software market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The invoice processing software market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $33.59 billion in 2024 to $40.52 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the shift from paper-based to digital invoicing systems, the introduction of optical character recognition technology for data extraction, regulatory compliance requirements, demand for automation to streamline accounts payable processes, and integration with accounting and ERP systems for seamless data exchange.
The invoice processing software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $82.22 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to digital transformation initiatives, focus on cost reduction, need for efficiency and accuracy, demand for cloud-based solutions, and focus on data analytics and insights. Major trends in the forecast period include the expansion of mobile functionality, enhanced integration capabilities, the rise of intelligent document recognition (IDR), integration with blockchain technology, and continued emphasis on user experience.
The forecast of 19.4% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.7% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The U.S. may face higher costs in this market due to tariffs impacting cloud data processing infrastructure and AI-based invoice recognition engines hosted outside the country. 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 e-commerce sector is poised to be a significant catalyst in driving the growth of the invoice-processing software market. E-commerce comprises businesses engaged in commercial transactions conducted electronically over the Internet, with its ascent attributed to increasing internet penetration, consumer convenience, and technological advancements facilitating seamless online transactions. In the realm of e-commerce, invoice processing software plays a pivotal role by automating the receipt, verification, and management of invoices from suppliers. This automation streamlines accounts payable workflows, ensuring efficient processing and timely payments. For instance, data from the United States Census Bureau in February 2024 revealed that e-commerce sales were projected to reach $1,118.7 billion in 2023, marking a 7.6% increase from 2022. During the same period, total retail sales experienced a 2.1% rise, with e-commerce sales constituting 15.4% of total sales, compared to 14.7% in 2022. Consequently, the expanding e-commerce sector is driving the growth of the invoice-processing software market.
Leading companies in the invoice processing software market are increasingly focused on incorporating advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), to maintain their competitive edge. AI, which simulates human intelligence in machines for tasks such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving, is leveraged to automate and streamline invoice management processes. This involves extracting, classifying, and validating data from invoices efficiently. For example, in April 2024, HighRadius Corporation, a US-based software provider, introduced a GenAI-powered accounts payable (AP) automation tool aimed at optimizing invoice processing and supplier communication. This tool, designed to address inefficiencies in traditional AP systems, features AP invoice automation and supplier connect capabilities, enhancing operational efficiency and strengthening supplier relationships.
In March 2022, Visma, a Norway-based software company, expanded its automatic invoice processing capabilities through the acquisition of Lyanthe B.V., a Netherlands-based accounting software company, for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition is poised to bolster Visma's market position and enhance its automatic invoice processing capabilities, further solidifying its presence in the invoice-processing software market.
