The increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is expected to spur the growth of the contract management software market. AI refers to systems that perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, while ML, a subset of AI, uses algorithms and models that allow computers to learn and make predictions or decisions based on data without explicit programming. The rise of AI and ML adoption is driven by the growing volume of data, decreasing hardware costs, cloud services, and open-source software. AI and ML algorithms can analyze large contract data to uncover trends and insights that may not be visible through manual analysis. By extracting critical information from contracts and analyzing it, businesses can gain valuable insights into contract performance, risks, and opportunities. For instance, in May 2022, reports from International Business Machines (IBM) indicated a 13% increase in cloud computing adoption from 2021, with over 35% of businesses using AI in 2022, up from 31% in 2021. As AI-powered contract analysis becomes more prevalent, it is fostering the growth of the contract management software market.
