The global eDiscovery market is forecast to grow from US$ 7,230.6 Mn in 2015 to US$ 21,089.1Mn by 2022, at a CAGR of 16.5% from 2015 to 2022. eDiscovery solutions find widespread applications in government and regulatory agencies, small, mid and large-sized enterprises, and law firms.

Among these end user segments, government and regulatory agencies was the largest segment in 2015 which accounted for around 51% revenue share of global eDiscovery market.
