The e-Discovery Software Publishing industry designs software to assist legal firms and corporations in producing evidence from electronically stored information (ESI), which includes e-mails, text documents, databases, audio and video files, social media and websites.

Over the five years to 2021, increasing regulations regarding the retention, modification and deletion of ESI have prompted many companies to seek e-discovery software to assure legal compliance and to provide the ability to produce electronic evidence when called upon.

Moreover, a steady expansion in the complexity and volume of data has bolstered demand for e-discovery software products, which sift through ESI to identify, collect and produce relevant information.

Due to these factors, the industry prospered for much of the period, despite a decline in 2020 due to the negative economic impact of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

Over the five years to 2021, revenue is estimated to increase at an annualized rate of 4.5% to $1.9 billion, including a 1.9% increase in 2021.

Strong profitability over the current five-year period also encouraged new companies to enter the market and expand workforces.

Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software is essential to the design and development of microchips, which are critical to numerous consumer and business applications involving computers and other electronic devices.

As microchip technology has continually improved over the past five years, industry software has been in increasingly high demand for researching new designs as well as reducing the costs associated with the chip design process.

Over the five years to 2020, Electronic Design Automation Software Developers industry revenue is expected to increase at an annualized rate of 7.1%, including expected growth of 1.6% in 2020, to $6.0 billion.

Rapid revenue growth is the result of rising investment in computers and software, as well as growth in relevant technology sectors.

Additionally, as the price of semiconductors and associated electronic components has decreased, microchips have been used in more applications, driving demand for EDA software.

Revenue for the e-Trading Software Developers industry, defined as companies that operate online securities trading websites and other software programs for the securities market, has increased at an annualized rate of 3.6% to $10.7 billion over the five years to 2020.

Industry profit has also increased in line with revenue gains.

Large companies in this industry, including the Charles Schwab Corporation and Fidelity Investments Inc.

recorded robust revenue growth during the period, as investors increased their use of online trading platforms.

However, the effect of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic and its economic consequences are expected to dampen revenue growth, resulting in revenue declining 2.5% in 2020 alone.

However, the online nature of the industry will likely ameliorate this decline somewhat, as industry services are still largely usable even with social distancing measures in place.

The Field Service Management Software industry develops software used by businesses to coordinate and dispatch field service personnel.

The largest buyers of field service management (FSM) software are manufacturers and telecommunications companies, and wholesalers and retailers.

Several research surveys suggest that the major buyers of FSM software are small- and medium-sized businesses (SMB) that find that the services provided by this software boost operational efficiency.

Although larger companies may be able to develop technology in-house, SMBs often rely on third-party industry operators.

Companies operating in the Fraud Detection Software Developers industry develop software to detect fraudulent activity, such as fraudulent mobile payments.

The industry has performed exceptionally well over the five years to 2020, with total revenue rising at an annualized rate of 19.3% to $10.0 billion, including anticipated growth of 15.4% in 2020.

The climbing number of services conducted online in recent years triggered an explosion of data tools and software, including software designed to ensure that sensitive personal information and payment information is safeguarded and protected.

This has largely come as a response to a rise in cybercrime and other fraudulent activities, prompting companies and consumers to demand industry software products as a way to ensure their data is not put at risk.

For the five years to 2020, the US bars and nightclubs have seen an average drop in sales.

However, this is because the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic causes a major drop in sales.

With the exception of 2020, the industry experienced annual sales increase, but industry revenues are projected to decline from the past 2015 levels due to the extent of the coronavirus.

Increased consumers and per capita consumption on alcohol were a significant contributor to growth for the majority of the time.

Due to social dissociation laws, the output reversal resulted in sharp decreased demand.

Industrial sales are expected to decrease by 26.6 percent alone in 2020.

While business sales growth is forecast to decline by 1.9% to $22.3 billion over the five years to 2020 despite the first four years of the industry’s revenue expansion.

The battery industry produces storage batteries, also called secondary and rechargeable, and non-rechargeable main batteries.

Industry goods are widely used in the mobile, medical, household and automobile and transportation industries.

Despite rising exports and customer demand between 2016 and 2019, significant investment on research and development has diminished the increase in revenues.

However, the COVID 19 pandemic has affected consumption, reduced exports and weakened supply chains, leading to a 9.6 percent fall in sales in 2020.

The need for lithium-ion battery packs is rising as demand for electric vehicles (EVs) has been increasing.

Several new manufacturers of electric car batteries have been approved by the market, and potential demand for vehicle batteries is encouraging.

Overall, research anticipates that market revenues fall at an annualized rate of $10.2 billion over the five years ending in 2021, with the expected upturn in customer expenditure and new vehicle purchases alone rising by 6.1 percent in 2021.

Increased sector profit over the timeframe due to improved economies of scale has also increased marginally.

Battery recycling operators gather battery wastes and recycle them for both safe disposal and reuse of precious materials.

Many jurisdictions adopted legislation that regulates or promotes the recycling of recycled batteries, and the need for industry facilities has increased since these laws have multiplied in recent years as a result of negative health effects associated with the unsafe disposal of battery waste.

In addition to the increase of the amount of used batteries entering the waste stream, battery recycling has also increased.

Around the same time, the instability in the price of virgin nonferrous metals has been causing market revenues to push traders to lower the recycled metals costs.

In general, revenues from the sector are projected to rise by 0.4% to $631.8 million annually over the five-year period by 2020 and 0.9% forecast growth by 2020.

The Bail Bond Services Business includes institutions that offer insurance bonds that offset the possibility of awarding the defendant’s convictions a pre-trial release.

If the prisoner does not appear for his planned legal appeal, Bail bond officers shall ensure the payment of the bonds.

The insurance firms underwriting the bond bonds are not part of this business.

Bail bond agents often charge a fee that is not reimbursable.
