KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Decreased International Cross Border Trade During Pandemic Led to Decreased Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the cross border litigation service market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Due to global shutdowns, interruptions in supply chains, and economic unpredictability, the Covid-19 pandemic has drastically reduced cross-border international trade. Consequently, there was a downturn in demand for litigating matters that crossed international borders as few contracts were executed globally, leaving fewer disputes to arise. A number of companies concentrated on surviving rather than growing causing a momentary drop in cross-border legal disputes. Besides, the closure of courts and postponement of cases reduced the need for litigation services even further. Nevertheless, with global trade returning to some level of normalcy, it is anticipated that there will be renewed demand for cross-border litigation again.
