The global human capital management (HCM) market is expected at USD 24.34 billion in 2024 and USD 33.66 billion by 2029, growing at an expansion rate (CAGR) of 6.7% in during the conjecture period.
Human capital management software (HCM), an enterprise application solution, has been a necessity in every business as it automates the heavy administrative tasks related to employee data, payroll, and benefits management. Also, the expansion of the HCM software market is credited to the opportunities developed by the demand for SMEs across the globe.
Employee-driven internet usage patterns persuade companies to implement mobile apps that extend employee management functions to improve culture, that is, people management, offering growth prospects to HCM suppliers. Since several companies had the same human resource software for more than seven years, which must be updated to keep up with the market, these factors should influence the growth of the human capital management software market.
Data security has become a major concern since the implementation of HCM software. The software must prevent unauthorized access to confidential and confidential data. Several levels of security must be established, which hampers market growth.
The wealth of functionality, ease of use, and data capacity features of cloud-based applications led to the adoption of the cloud in all enterprise application solutions, of which CRM and HCM were the first to be introduced to the cloud.
Cloud-based HCM solutions enable companies to create effective employee engagement tools that leverage the integration of social media and other APIs to learn, train, and recruit tools that disrupt the market.
In 2018, Oracle predicted that almost half of production workloads would migrate to the cloud by the end of 2020.
Anticipating the growth of cloud adoption in enterprises, HCM providers also offer cloud-based solutions while continuing their on-premise offerings, but with less emphasis on innovation than based solutions on the cloud.
The increasing adoption of software to manage the entire employee lifecycle and the growing need to comply with government regulations are some of the critical factors responsible for the development of this market during the prognosis period. Factors such as the growing need to manage a diverse workforce, increase employee productivity, and comply with regulations are some of the factors responsible for this strong growth.
