Market Growth Factors
Growing contract complexity due to evolving regulations and multi-stakeholder involvement is a major driver of CLM software adoption. Organizations seek tools that streamline contract creation, negotiation, approval, and compliance tracking. Increasing regulatory obligations also elevate demand for CLM systems that help mitigate legal risks and ensure document accuracy.
Rising investments in legal technology further support market growth. Legal tech budgets grew from 2.6% in 2017 to 3.9% in 2020, with projections estimating an increase to 12% by 2025. Enterprises are increasingly implementing CLM platforms to automate workflows, cut manual processes, and reduce contract cycle times, enhancing operational efficiency.
Technological progress, especially in AI and ML, accelerates adoption. Natural Language Processing (NLP) improves contract data extraction, review accuracy, and risk identification. New AI-enabled platforms, such as Conga’s June 2024 CLM launch, offer connectivity with CRM, ERP, and procurement systems to boost productivity and reduce contract cycle durations.
