E-discovery Market Map Shea & Company
e-discovery Will Continue to be an Active Sector in 2014 We expect the level of acquisition activity to remain strong in the coming year as consolidation continues to define the industry Strong growth outlook: e-discovery growth is expected to accelerate (CAGR of 25%) over the next few years as legal/compliance/regulatory issues increase in complexity and as the amount of electronically stored information (ESI) grows over 60% per year Market will consolidate: The market continues to be highly fragmented and localized, but endusers are demanding more complete and robust solutions Large enterprise software vendors looking to acquire small e-discovery point solutions to build solution sets that span the entire EDRM lifecycle The handful of strong, independent e-discovery companies will have the opportunity to consolidate subscale local competitors Pricing free fall has slowed: Although price pressure remains, companies and law firms have shown will pay for a combination of good technology and superior service 2
