Also, leading players in the market are focused on integrating advanced technologies into their analytics solutions to offer services, such as advanced search and exploration. For instance,
Slowdown in R&D Activities Amid COVID-19 Slightly Declined Demand for Patent Analytics Solutions
The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic impeded the demand for advanced IP analytical tools due to declined research & development activities across several industries. This happened due to restrictions imposed by several countries' governments on production, research institutes, and innovation centers.
In addition, several business sectors showed a decline in revenue during the pandemic period. Also, the demand for analytics solutions and services decreased owing to the budget constraints of small and medium organizations.
However, several leading patent analytics companies were planning to develop customized platforms for the healthcare sector due to rising innovations and investments in this industry amid the pandemic. The tools aimed to assist end-users in the healthcare sector in storing and studying substantial medical records to understand the treatment of COVID-19 infection. Several government authorities adopted advanced technologies for understanding the necessary treatment using the analytics software and platform. For instance,

Increasing R&D Investment and IP Rights Filings to Accelerate Market Progression
Rising research & development (R&D) activities in healthcare, manufacturing, IT & telecommunications, and other sectors have accelerated the demand for analytics tools. End-users in these industries invest significant amounts while filing IP rights for their innovative products before launching them. These factors create ample opportunities for prominent players in the market. For instance, according to Samsung Electronics 2021 business report, in 2021, the firm invested around USD 17.38 billion in R&D and held 47,900 Korean and 84,202 U.S. patents. In addition, the firm held 216,404 patents across the globe.
Similarly, in 2022, major companies, such as IBM Corporation and LG Corporation held around 1,22,110 and 1,41,312 patents, respectively. An increase in IP filings by these leading players is expected to boost the patent analytics market growth.
High Transactional Costs Associated with Software and Services to Impede Market Growth
Patent analytics software is used for commercial IP right searches and negotiation services. This software incurs huge deployment and transaction costs, impeding the demand for patent application in developing nations. For example, the price of patent analytics solutions and services offered by companies, such as Gridlogics, Harrity & Harrity, LLP, and others ranges from USD 1,000 to USD 5,000 per year depending on the type of patent searching and filing applications.
Furthermore, according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, businesses spent more than USD 8 billion on patent renewals at top 10 patent offices in the U.S. The top 50 companies spent around USD 1.9 billion on annuity fees.
Thus, high transactional costs will hamper the market growth.
