Multi-Country Payroll Solutions Market Report 2025 | Remote Work Fuels Demand for Multi-Country Payroll Solutions

Dublin, Oct. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Multi-Country Payroll (MCP) Solutions Market Report 2025" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The multi-country payroll solutions market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.11 billion in 2024 to $6.7 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing expansion of multinational companies, rising complexity of cross-border payroll regulations, rise in demand for unified employee experience, adoption of digital transformation strategies in HR, and increasing focus on payroll accuracy and transparency.

The multi-country payroll (MCP) solutions market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.58 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing integration of AI and automation in payroll systems, rising demand for real-time payroll insights, a rise in hybrid and remote workforce models, adoption of advanced analytics for workforce planning, and increasing emphasis on employee self-service platforms.

Major trends in the forecast period include advancement in payroll automation technologies, advanced use of predictive analytics in payroll, development of unified global payroll platforms, innovation in employee experience enhancement tools, and integration of blockchain for payroll security and transparency.

The forecast of 9.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of tariffs could strain multinational corporations by increasing costs for global payroll consolidation platforms and tax compliance software sourced from the Netherlands and Singapore, potentially causing payroll processing delays while raising HR administration costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing prevalence of remote work is expected to drive the expansion of the multi-country payroll (MCP) solutions market in the coming years. Remote work is a flexible arrangement that allows employees to perform their job duties from locations outside of traditional office spaces, typically using digital communication and collaboration tools.

The rise of remote work is being fueled by technological advancements that facilitate seamless communication and collaboration across distances. Multi-country payroll solutions are crucial for remote work, as they ensure accurate and compliant payroll processing across various countries, handling different currencies, tax regulations, and labor laws effectively. For example, in December 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based government agency, reported that by August 2023, 37% of Australians were engaged in regular remote work, a 5% increase compared to pre-pandemic levels. As a result, the rise of remote work is expected to accelerate the growth of the multi-country payroll (MCP) solutions market.

Leading companies in the multi-country payroll (MCP) solutions market are increasingly adopting advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) automation and compliance tools to streamline payroll operations, improve accuracy, and ensure global regulatory compliance. AI-powered automation and compliance involve using artificial intelligence to simplify regulatory processes, ensure legal adherence, and reduce compliance risks through automated monitoring, reporting, and decision-making. For example, in November 2024, Ernst & Young Global Limited (EY), a UK-based professional services firm, launched its Integrated Global Payroll Solution. This AI-driven platform combines domestic, mobile, and global payroll services into one centralized, modular system. By integrating legal, advisory, and compliance functions, the solution minimizes risk, maintains data consistency, and improves payroll accuracy and efficiency. Additionally, AI-driven automation helps facilitate smarter decision-making and optimized payroll management.

In July 2023, UKG Inc., a U.S.-based provider of workforce management and human capital management (HCM) solutions, acquired Immedis for $575 million. This acquisition enhances UKG's global payroll capabilities by integrating Immedis' technology and services. It also led to the introduction of UKG One View, a solution designed to modernize and streamline multi-country payroll management. Immedis Ltd., an Ireland-based payroll provider, offers advanced technology and services to support global payroll processing and compliance across multiple countries.
