The increase in asylum cases is expected to drive the growth of the immigration legal services market in the coming years. Asylum cases involve individuals seeking protection in a foreign country due to threats such as persecution or violence in their home country. The rise in asylum cases is primarily fueled by ongoing conflicts and political instability in certain regions, forcing more people to leave their countries in search of safety. Immigration legal services support asylum cases by offering expert assistance with complex legal processes, making them crucial for individuals seeking protection. These services help minimize application errors by providing tailored support with documentation, interviews, and case preparation, thereby improving the likelihood of a successful asylum outcome. For example, in August 2024, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, a Switzerland-based refugee agency, new individual asylum applications worldwide reached 3.6 million in 2023, compared to 2.9 million applications in 2022. Therefore, the rising number of asylum cases is contributing to the growth of the immigration legal services market.
