The global intellectual property management software market size is estimated to reach USD 24.82 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 12.9% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Development in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector, coupled with the growing awareness and adoption of intellectual property management software across emerging economies such as China and India, are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the market growth.
Furthermore, increasing government initiatives toward creating a digital infrastructure and regulatory framework to monetize and protect creations are also expected to contribute to the growth of the market.
