Litigation Funding Investment Market: Overview
Litigation Funding Investment is an alternative financing option that comprises a third-party financer. It offers the claimant the financial resources needed to contest the disputes before an arbitration tribunal or judicial forum. In exchange, the third-party financer gets a fixed percentage of the money the claimant gets due to the settlement process.
Litigation Funding Investment Market: COVID–19 Impact Analysis
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in creating challenges concerning the functioning of courts. Stringent regulations imposed by governments worldwide, including lockdowns, curfews, and social distancing, to reduce the spread of the virus led to remote justice delivery, partial court opening, and others.
The slowdown in the functioning of judicial organizations resulted in a rise in the number of pending cases, which impacted the litigation funding investment market in 2020. However, as per industry experts, commercial litigation finance witnessed rapid growth during the first three quarters of 2021 and is expected to constantly evolve, encouraged by macroeconomic movements and regulatory developments.
Sectors such as hospitality, retail, and travel were significantly impacted during the pandemic. Thus, litigation funding providers scrutinized the defendant’s solvency, which resulted in difficulty obtaining funds for the plaintiffs. However, rapid economic recovery helped the litigation funding market grow. Most growth in this market is expected from disputes concerning supply-chain breakdowns.
Litigation Funding Investment Market: Growth Drivers
The rise in lawsuits funders globally
The global rise in the number of litigation fund providers, coupled with increasing highly valued legal cases involving numerous jurisdictions, is expected to offer opportunities for market growth. Also, key players are diversifying their investing options in a variety of jurisdictions and matters to build their global capacity.
Awareness regarding the benefits of litigation funding
Primarily, the organizations use litigation funding to lessen the impact of short-term financing, which helps reduce its impact on financial statements. Thus helping businesses to focus more on their core operations.
The rise in capital investments
The increased understanding regarding litigation funding has resulted in the high growth of capital investments, propelling the market’s growth. Furthermore, investors are constantly investing in alternate asset classes through litigation funding, which in turn boosts the growth of the litigation funding market.
Litigation Funding Investment Market: Segmentation Analysis
The litigation funding investment market is segmented into type, enterprise, and end user in our research scope. By type, the commercial litigation segment is anticipated to hold the largest share globally throughout the forecast period. This segment comprises litigations concerning businesses such as partnership disputes, breach of contract, business torts, class actions, etc. Further, the large enterprise segment holds the dominant market share by enterprise size.
Large enterprises mainly use litigation funding to reduce the monetary impact on themselves, thus allowing the enterprises to pursue their legal dispute regardless of affecting the company’s financial resources. Alternatively, the SME segment is expected to witness considerable growth. Financing legal disputes results in a substantial impact on the company’s financial budgets of SME enterprises as it is relatively difficult for SMEs to validate patent infringement, and the litigation cost also increases.
Based on application, the BFSI segment is expected to hold the largest market share. In contrast, the media & entertainment segment is expected to witness a high CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing cases regarding copyright and trademark infringements are boosting the market.
