The market for Cloud-based Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) software represents a rapidly expanding five-year (2018-2022) total addressable market (TAM) in excess of $7.6 billion.

The growth in CLM adoption is fueled by digital transformation and a refocusing of technology investment away from traditional ERP/Financials suites towards automating and digitally instrumenting key processes within organizations.

CLM represents a significant opportunity to increase productivity, improve accuracy, and inject operational speed across organizations of all sizes, stages of maturity, industries, and geographies. Leading organizations around the world are already investing in automated CLM tools, but the overall level of adoption is still relatively modest. We expect the pace of innovation and adoption in this area to accelerate. This will be accompanied by an evolution in CLM’s systems capabilities, user perception, and integration between itself and other core enterprise systems such as CRM, CPQ, Billing, and Procurement Management and Supply Chain, among others. MGI Research believes CLM is an essential ingredient in any digital transformation initiative.

This MGI Forecast provides a quantitative estimate of the Total Addressable Market (TAM) for Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) software from 2018 to 2022. In this report, we address the following information and issues: worldwide annual estimates of potential spending and growth rate, detailed geographical breakdowns, economic sectors, analysis of market size based on company size, the impact of Internet of Things (IoT), Digital Transformation, and company growth and technology spend profiles, among others.
