Patent Valuation Service Market Report 2025

The patent valuation service market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.2 billion in 2024 to $2.44 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth during the historic period was influenced by the increase in strategic IP transactions, the expansion of patent pool formations, stronger government initiatives promoting innovation, the rise of IP-backed financing, and the growing use of predictive analytics in valuation.

The patent valuation service market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.62 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be credited to higher investments in research and development, increasing demand for patent commercialization, greater focus on valuing intangible assets, rising awareness of patent portfolio management, and a stronger need for innovation assessment. Key trends expected in this period include the development of AI-driven patent valuation tools, the use of advanced analytics for IP portfolio management, innovations in automated valuation methods, the incorporation of machine learning into patent assessment, and progress in real-time IP monitoring systems.

The rising number of patent filings is expected to drive the growth of the patent valuation service market in the coming years. Patent filings refer to the official process of submitting an application to protect an invention, granting exclusive rights to the inventor and preventing unauthorized use. This increase in filings is largely due to higher investments in research and development, as organizations work to create innovative solutions and safeguard their intellectual property rights. Patent valuation services support this process by offering insights into the commercial value of an invention, helping inventors and organizations justify filing costs and focus on high-value innovations. For example, in July 2023, the Intellectual Property Office, a UK-based government agency, reported that the number of patent applications submitted increased by 3.4%, rising from 18,854 in 2021 to 19,486 in 2022. Consequently, the growing number of patent filings is fueling demand for patent valuation services.

Companies in the patent valuation service market are increasingly developing advanced solutions, such as AI-powered patent search tools, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of patent analysis. These solutions use artificial intelligence to quickly locate, analyze, and categorize relevant patent information, enabling better valuation and decision-making. For instance, in December 2024, Clarivate Plc, a US-based analytics company, launched AI Search in Derwent, an AI-powered patent search tool. This tool integrates AI with the Derwent World Patents Index (DWPI), which includes over 160 million patent records, to help intellectual property professionals identify the most relevant patents more efficiently. Using a language transformer model, the AI interprets the context of user queries to deliver highly accurate results, assisting patent researchers and attorneys in conducting effective patentability searches while minimizing the risk of overlooking critical patents. This advancement significantly speeds up the patent search process by reducing the number of documents to review, supporting quicker and more reliable innovation decisions.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the professional services sector, particularly in legal, consulting, architectural, and engineering domains. Higher costs for imported technology, software licenses, office equipment, and digital infrastructure have raised operational expenses for firms reliant on global tools and platforms. International consulting projects are facing delays or cost overruns due to increased travel expenses and restricted access to foreign-sourced data and tools. Additionally, clients in manufacturing, construction, and logistics, heavily affected by tariffs are cutting back on outsourced services, squeezing demand for professional expertise. As a result, service providers are reevaluating pricing structures, expanding domestic supplier relationships, and investing in AI-driven solutions to sustain profitability and client engagement amid economic uncertainty.
