Intelligent Document Processing Market Growth Analysis - Forecast Trends and Outlook (2025-2034)

The global intelligent document processing market reached approximately USD 4.51 Billion in 2024. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 34.70% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of nearly USD 88.69 Billion by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

Intelligent document processing (IDP) is an advanced AI-enabled technology used by organisations to digitise and automate their unstructured data from various sources, including business documents, emails, images, and PDF documents. IDP uses various technologies to scan through these documents, identify crucial pieces of information, and then contextualise the data before presenting it to the user.

• The growing digitisation in sectors worldwide to improve operational efficiency and generate revenue drives the global intelligent document processing market demand. The rising demand for cost-effective document-processing software from various sectors, including BFSI, healthcare, and life sciences, to gather crucial business insights and formulate strategies for the future also assists the market growth.
• The influx of unstructured and semi-structured data in organisations is driving the intelligent document processing market growth. The growing complexity of data and the need to process it accurately and quickly are boosting the adoption of this software. Incorporating robotic process automation (RPA) with IDP involves extracting unstructured data and structuring information from it, which allows businesses to automate the whole process, aiding the market growth.
• One of the significant intelligent document processing market trends include the growing emphasis by organisations on providing an enhanced customer experience, improving operational efficiency, and introducing customisation to improve their operational efficiency. IDP software can auto-classify, categorise, and crop documents to facilitate data extraction. The intelligent character recognition software can easily identify glyphs and other textual elements, resulting in a more in-depth analysis.
