Patent analytics refers to the process of extracting and analyzing patent data to identify trends, assess technological progress, and inform decision-making in innovation and intellectual property management. It involves using databases, statistical tools, and machine learning techniques to study patent landscapes, monitor competitor activities, and evaluate market potential. This analysis offers businesses and researchers valuable insights into technology fields and opportunities for legal protection.
The core elements of patent analytics include solutions and services. Solutions consist of software tools that automate the analysis of patent data, helping legal teams and research departments track patents, visualize trends, and make informed decisions regarding intellectual property using advanced technologies. These solutions are available in different deployment types, such as on-premises and cloud-based, and cater to a wide range of enterprise sizes, from large corporations to small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs). Applications of patent analytics include competitive intelligence, technology landscape assessments, patent valuation, and litigation support. The primary users of these tools include corporations, research organizations, intellectual property firms, and government agencies.
The patent analytics market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides patent analytics market statistics, including the patent analytics industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the patent analytics market share, detailed patent analytics market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the patent analytics industry. This patent analytics market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The patent analytics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.07 billion in 2024 to $1.20 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the rising demand for advanced technologies, the integration of AI and big data, a higher number of patent filings, an increase in research and development efforts, and a growing need for professional intellectual property solutions.
The patent analytics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.90 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth expected during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing number of patent filings, a rise in patent litigation, the shift toward digitalization across various industries, a growing demand for customized services, and higher investments in research and development. Key trends in the forecast period include the growing use of AI-driven patent analytics, a stronger focus on intellectual property protection, an increase in the adoption of cloud computing, a surge in patent filings driving the need for patent monitoring, and technological advancements in information and communication.
The growth of the patent analytics market is expected to be driven by the rising number of patent filings. Patent filings are the process of submitting applications to obtain legal rights for an invention, which grants the applicant exclusive ownership and protection for a set period. The increase in patent filings can be attributed to various factors, including higher investment in R&D, growing awareness of intellectual property (IP), and the presence of patent trolls. Patent analytics plays a key role in identifying prior art, evaluating patentability, and drafting strong claims to enhance patent filing strategies. For example, in August 2024, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental body, reported that global patent filings grew by 2.7% in 2023, reaching around 3.6 million. Consequently, the rise in patent filings is fueling the expansion of the patent analytics market.
Leading companies in the patent analytics market are focusing on developing advanced artificial intelligence (AI)-powered patent search solutions to improve decision-making in intellectual property (IP) management. These AI-powered solutions use cutting-edge technologies to streamline and automate searches within patent databases, enabling users to quickly identify relevant patents, track innovation trends, and assess patentability with greater accuracy. For example, in December 2024, Clarivate Plc, a UK-based provider of transformative intelligence, introduced AI Search in Derwent. This advanced tool integrates AI with the Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI), offering more precise and relevant patent search results. The tool uses a language transformer model to understand the context of the input text, helping IP professionals perform initial patentability searches, validate findings, and explore unfamiliar technology areas more efficiently. This AI tool greatly improves the speed and accuracy of searches, allowing users to find relevant patents faster and make more informed decisions during the patent research process.
In July 2024, Clarivate Plc, a UK-based provider of transformative intelligence, acquired Rowan TELS Corp. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Clarivate's support for patent professionals by incorporating AI-driven solutions for patent drafting, filing, and prosecution, thus streamlining the patent preparation process. Rowan TELS Corp., a US-based software company, specializes in providing patent analytics solutions.
