Litigation Funding Investment Market: Overview
Litigation Funding Investment is an alternative financing option that comprises a third-party financer. It offers financial resources needed to the claimant for contesting the disputes, before an arbitration tribunal or the judicial forum. The third-party financer, in return, receives a fixed amount of the monetary relief derived by the claimant from 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, as well as 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. This impacted the market for 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 macroeconomics movement and regulatory developments.
Sectors such as hospitality retail, and travel, were significantly impacted during the pandemic. Thus, litigation funding providers were highly scrutinizing the defendant’s solvency. This resulted in difficulty in obtaining funds for the plaintiffs. However, rapid economic recovery helped the litigation funding market to grow. The majority of 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 for building 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 in reducing 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, which propels the growth of the market. Furthermore, investors are engaging in 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
In our research scope, the litigation funding investment market is segmented into type, enterprise, and end user. 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, and others.

Market forecasting is accomplished through the use of a combination of economic techniques, technical analysis, industry experience, and domain knowledge.
Short-term forecasting is typically done with econometric models, while long-term forecasting is done with technological market models.
