The growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is expected to drive the expansion of the contract management software market in the coming years. AI refers to computer systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, while ML, a subset of AI, focuses on creating algorithms and models that enable computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without explicit programming. The rise in AI and ML adoption is fueled by the proliferation of data from diverse sources, declining hardware costs, cloud computing services, and the availability of open-source software. These technologies can analyze large volumes of contract data to uncover trends, patterns, and insights that may not be apparent through manual review. By extracting and analyzing key contract information, organizations can gain valuable insights into contract performance, risks, and opportunities. For example, in October 2025, according to Netguru S.A., a Poland-based software development company, generative AI adoption reached 71% in 2024, up sharply from 33% in 2023, reflecting a rapid increase in business trust and reliance on advanced AI technologies. Therefore, the growing use of AI-powered contract analysis is driving the contract management software market.
Key players in the contract management software market are prioritizing the development of AI-powered solutions such as Catalyst for Contracts to gain a competitive advantage.
