Market Growth Factors
The market for eDiscovery services in the United States is driven by the massive amounts of electronically stored information (ESI) that organizations generate. More than 97% of all business documents are created and stored electronically. There are 250 billion emails sent every day; this figure excludes texting and social media. The huge amounts of data result in high demand for eDiscovery tools that can quickly find the relevant information from a huge data set for litigation or regulatory compliance.
The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) software has sped up the eDiscovery workflow by easing faster eDiscovery document review and classification, predictive coding, as well as reducing mistakes, costs and expenses while improving the speed and accuracy of data processing. This has become necessary given the volume and complexity of data law firms and corporations must manage for compliance and litigation.
The growing demand for cloud-based eDiscovery solutions has helped in the growth of the market. Cloud eDiscovery solutions are scalable and accessible from anywhere and enable the legal teams to collaborate in real-time. These solutions are generally more suited to distributed legal teams and generally cheaper, making them particularly attractive for small and medium-sized enterprises undergoing digital transformation while increasing eDiscovery needs.
