Everest Group Names Process Mining ‘Leaders’

The Everest Group, a global technology consultant based in Dallas, has released its annual evaluation of the process mining software market. The company, which produces a “PEAK Matrix” report for dozens of technology sectors, named Appian, ARIS, Celonis, mpmX, Salesforce, SAP Signavio and UiPath as “Leaders” in the process mining category.

Process mining has become an increasingly important part of the automation strategy for companies, enabling them to identify which processes can and should be automated, reveal bottlenecks and inefficiencies in processes and reduce operating costs. The technology has gained momentum in recent years and is being integrated into the software offerings of a growing number of intelligent automation providers.

According to the report, the process mining market was worth around $1.6 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow 20-25 percent annually over the next few years.

“While demand remains strong, growth will be increasingly be fueled by broader process intelligence capabilities, AI-driven process optimization (including agentic process automation), and tighter integration with intelligent automation platforms,” the authors wrote

The consultancy ranked 24 companies in the process mining space on two axes: “market impact” and “vision and capability.” It separates them according to their position on the matrix into “aspirants,” “major contenders” and “leaders.”

In addition to the four Leaders, process mining technology evaluated by Everest Group for the report includes solutions from: ABBYY, Cyclone Robotics, Decisions, FUTUROOT, IBM, iGrafx, inverbis, Microsoft, Mindzie, Pega, process.science, Processifier, Proxverse, QAD, QPR, ServiceNow and UpFlux. While the company sells a version of the report on its website that includes a full market and trend analysis, the graph showing the relative positions of the companies included in the evaluation is publicly available.
