Dublin, Feb. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Bundled Pay Management Software Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The bundled pay management software market is poised for notable growth, expanding from $3.08 billion in 2025 to $3.66 billion in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.8%. This upsurge can be attributed to the evolving complexities of payroll regulations, the enhancement of employee benefits programs, increased adoption of HR digital tools, and the vital need for precise payroll processing integrated with HR systems.
Looking ahead, the market is expected to reach $7.29 billion by 2030 at the same CAGR. Key growth drivers include AI-enabled payroll automation, heightened emphasis on real-time compliance, expanded requirements for multinational payroll solutions, and a surge in demand for scalable cloud platforms coupled with advanced workforce analytics. Notable trends encompass the integration of payroll and benefits platforms, automated compliance management, the proliferation of cloud-based solutions, AI-driven analytics, and a greater focus on cost transparency and accuracy.
Cloud-based solutions are a pivotal factor in this growth. These solutions, hosted on remote servers and accessed online, offer scalable, flexible, and cost-efficient resources, enabling businesses to adapt swiftly to evolving demands. Bundled pay management software facilitates this by combining payroll, HR, and compliance into a singular, efficient platform. For instance, IT Desk UK reported in 2025 that cloud-native app usage soared to 78%, up from 58% in 2022, fueling market expansion.
Technological advancements are a focal point for market leaders, with innovations like serverless in-memory computing enhancing processing speeds, reducing infrastructure costs, and delivering real-time payroll insights. In 2024, Ramco Systems Limited launched Ramco Payce, an AI-powered payroll platform offering features such as high-speed payroll processing, real-time compliance, and seamless integration with human capital management systems. This platform provides no-code rule creation, on-demand reporting, and user-friendly design, expediting payroll system setups.
Strategic acquisitions are shaping the landscape, such as IRIS Software Group’s acquisition of Apex HCM in 2023, bolstering its US payroll and HCM offerings. This move supported payroll service bureaus and CPA firms, serving over 40,000 SMBs with a comprehensive cloud-based suite. Apex HCM’s fully integrated system strengthened IRIS’ presence in the Americas.
