In 2014, the global eDiscovery market was mostly consolidated, with the top three players – Guidance Software, Inc., HP Autonomy, and IBM Corporation – taking up 39.3% of the market share in value.
The global market for eDiscovery solutions, on the other hand, was rather fragmented, with the top four players taking up only 41.3% of the total market share in 2014. The remainder was taken up by a large number of regional players. These four key eDiscovery solutions providers are FTI Consulting, Inc., Xerox Corporation, Navigant Consulting, Inc., and Integreon Managed Solutions, Inc.
As per a research report released by Transparency Market Research, the global market for eDiscovery is expected to notice a very high degree of competition due to its largely fragmented nature. Meanwhile, the threat from new entrants is expected to remain medium due to the significantly large entry barriers.
The global market for eDiscovery software and solutions is expected to reach US$21.08 bn by the end of 2022. It is projected at a CAGR of 16.2% from 2014 to 2022 and is predicted to reach US$8.31 bn before the end of 2016.
By the end of 2022, eDiscovery services are expected to generate a revenue of US$14.57 bn, thereby consistently holding the leading share in components against eDiscovery software. A large number of companies find it extremely convenient and fruitful to adopt eDiscovery services rather than play in-house software.

As a software type segment, off-premise eDiscovery software is expected to generate a revenue of US$4.83 bn.
