Key Findings & Highlights:

The payroll services market remains strong in 2016, with ~5.5% growth and an expected 5.8% CAAGR, reaching $21.2bn by 2021.

The payroll services market is relatively mature, with standard providers supporting a wide range of processes from provisioning, technical support, to processing and payroll management.

Demand for payroll services is being driven by a need for best in class technology solutions, a need for process efficiency and productive improvements throughout the delivery mode, a requirement for increased compliance across the scope of countries in which a client is operating, and access to and visibility of global data through real-time reporting and predictive analytics, allowing HR and payroll to become a more strategic business partner.

As organizations continue to seek digital transformation, cloud technology is the key to realizing the change required to remain competitive. The drive toward digital transformation has created a convergence with HR and payroll addressing technology jointly. Buyers are now much more focused on technology first, services second, with an increasing demand for technology based managed payroll services.

Global HR/payroll organizations are seeing regulatory changes becoming more complex, demanding, and difficult to maintain compliance with (e.g. GDPR, ACA, etc.).

Vendors are continuing to invest the majority of their R&D revenues in technology. The largest investment in technology in 2016 was in integrations, platform enhancements, advanced automation, and analytics.
