This is especially true for contract management, as organisations transition from using shared drives and spreadsheets to purpose-built and cloud-based contract management software platforms.

COVID-19 Impact: Halt on Services to Hamper Market

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the global cloud-based contract management software market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The rise in CAGR is a byproduct of the cloud-based contract management software market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Since last year, COVID-19 has significantly slowed the global cloud-based contract management software market, and this trend is expected to continue until 2022. The spread of the coronavirus has resulted in a surge in demand for cloud-based contract management software in large industrial countries.

The worldwide lockdown imposed in response to COVID-19's appearance had a significant impact on the global market for Cloud-Based Contract Management Software. The temporary halt of production operations hampered the market's expansion. Even though all these downfalls occurred, the market also witnessed a drive post-COVID-19 due to the increased number of contracts made during clinical research studies and vendor agreements during the pandemic, and the demand for secure contract management solutions increased. The pandemic has increased the use of CLM software solutions, which is expected to continue throughout the forecast period.
