Key Findings & Highlights:
The Payroll Services market remains strong in 2014, with ~6.2% growth in 2014 and the market is expected to reach $21bn by 2019.
The Payroll Services market is relatively mature with standard providers supporting a wide range of processes from provisioning, technical support, processing and payroll management. Increasingly HR software vendors are entering the newly emerging cloud payroll services market.
While compliance is always critical in this sector, as mistakes can be very costly to a business, integration and HR software capability is increasing important in buyer decisions. Further, it is expected this will increase in importance as buyers look for off the shelf solutions for payroll processing with HR integration. ~70% of payroll services are delivered with integrated HRIS platforms. As demand increases for digital and mobile HR services, payroll delivery will accordingly be reviewed and is expected there will be an uptick in demand as a result.
Payroll vendors increasingly invest in HR software technology and more HR software vendors are extending their offerings in the cloud payroll services market.
Acquisitions continue as do partnerships, primarily to support multi-country payroll services, where the market continues to grow in double digits.
