Micro-tasking means dividing a project into smaller tasks and getting it done virtually by the outsourced crowd. The market for micro-tasking is projected to witness promising growth over the course of the next five years owing to the fact that the companies are increasing their focus to getting small tasks done virtually, as it helps in the enhancement of operational efficiency as no daily work of the company is hampered.

Crowdsourcing has gained a lot of traction in the past years as firms can obtain numerous benefits as an enormously skilled workforce is available to them from all geographic locations.

Thus, increasing demand for these platforms across various businesses to maintain operational efficiency is significantly driving the growth of the global micro-tasking market.

This pool of workforce that can perform microtasks benefits the requesting companies by completing numerous small, often repetitive, tasks at low cost that would otherwise be done by an existing employee, halting his or her daily work. Additionally, the company can also attain cost benefits in terms of increased productivity, which often reduces the downtime of a project. Moreover, the cost of getting a task done is often fixed, and the routine activities of the companies are not required to be halted or postponed.

By geography, the global microtasking market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific. North America holds a significant share in the global microtasking market throughout the forecast period.
