Another projection by Astute Analytica indicates the market value was around USD 932 million in 2023, rising to USD 6,036.2 million by 2032, with a CAGR of ~23.1% from 2024 to 2032. This digital transformation surge has fueled the adoption of contract intelligence solutions across diverse industries.
