e-Discovery Software Publishing in the US
Engineers in the e-Discovery Software Publishing industry are essential for legal firms and corporations to produce evidence from electronically stored information (ESI). This software aggregates data from e-mails, text documents, databases, audio and video files, social media and websites. Increasing regulations regarding the retention, modification and deletion of ESI have prompted many companies to seek e-discovery software to assure legal compliance. Simultaneously, many companies use e-discovery software to handle internal disputes and information leakage. An explosion in the volume of data sent over the internet has also bolstered interest in e-discovery products. Both factors helped developers prosper for much of the period, despite a decline in 2020 due to COVID-19. Overall, revenue is estimated to increase at an annualized rate of 5.7% to $2.9 billion over the five years to 2023, including a 5.9% increase in 2023. Profit has also been strong in recent years, reaching 18.9% in 2023 and encouraging new companies to enter the ring and expand their workforces.
