The global digital signature market size will grow from $5.1 billion in 2022 to $6.78 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.8%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global digital signature market size is expected to grow to $21.08 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 32.8%. Supporting policies by the governments of various nations drove the digital signature market. For instance, the US government has passed an act called the 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act (also known as 21st Century IDEA Act). The 21st Century IDEA Act created a set of minimum functionalities and security standards that federal agencies must meet. According to this Act, the agencies must offer digital versions of paper-based citizen services and accept digital signatures, thereby, allowing citizens to complete transactions digitally. Such policies by the government of various nations have boosted the demand for the digital signature market. The lack of awareness about the legality of the digital signature is a major challenge for the digital signature market. Several countries have formulated laws assigning legal validity to digital signatures to ensure authenticity and security. For instance, ESIGN Act (Electronic Signature in Global and National Commerce Act), GPEA (Government Paperwork Elimination Act), EU law (EU Directive for Electronic Signatures), and Indian IT Act 2000, among others. However, the public across various countries are unaware of the existence of the digital signature law. This is mainly because of the lack of proper communication on the adoption of laws and regulations. Due to the complexity of regulations and the difficulty of understanding laws, the public seems to be unaware of the details. Therefore, the lack of awareness about the legality of a digital signature is limiting the adoption of digital signatures thereby impacting the market growth. The digital signature solutions providing companies are integrating blockchain technology with the digital signature. The goal of integrating blockchain with a digital signature is to offer users the possibility to certify integrity and time stamp. For instance, DocuSign collaborated with Visa for the public prototypes of a blockchain-based smart contract. A blockchain-based smart contract turns the contract into a computer program and the internet-connected program monitors and triggers the relevant actions on the contract's terms. In May 2020, Visma, a Norway-based software consulting and developing company, acquired the digital signature and document management provider Zetech for an undisclosed amount.

This digital publishing market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global digital publishing market size will grow from $41.35 billion in 2022 to $45.98 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global digital publishing market size is expected to grow to $67.86 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 10.2%. The increasing digitization of books and educational information is contributing to the growth of the digital publishing market. Conversion of the information into digital format contributed to the change in learning methods like the shift from traditional printed textbooks to digital modes such as e-readers, smartphones, and tablets. For instance, due to COVID 19 lockdown in mid-2020 across the globe, the sale of physical books has gone down as most of the publishing houses and bookstores were closed and readers spent most of their time reading e-books. In India, the sale of physical books went down by 80% and sales of e-books had almost doubled during the lockdown. Earlier pre-COVID 19, e-books or online newspapers and journals were popular among Generation Z or Millennials but during COVID 19 even Gen X and baby boomers too got aligned to this. Therefore, this trend is expected to be continued post-COVID 19 also, thus driving the market for digital publishing during the period. The threat from open educational resources and alternative textbook sources is one of the biggest challenges faced by the digital publishing market. The market growth may be hindered by the availability and accessibility of either free or affordable resources on the web. The revenue generated will be affected owing to the emergence of no-cost access, adaption, and use of the content available online with limited or no restrictions. For instance, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced $8 million funding for the Open Educational Resources Initiative at SUNY and CUNY colleges in New York. The initiative was taken to cut down the cost of the textbook which was around $1,200 a year.
