Market Introduction
The Europe virtual data room market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. Currently, fossil fuels are being exploited at an accelerating rate, owing to the increasing consumption of energy every year. Continuous introduction of technologically advanced products, such as electric cars, solar panels, or bioenergy facilities, slowdown the depletion of energy sources. However, prominent research and technology organizations across the region are exploring new and better energy solutions. Thus, the renewable energy industry has established itself as one of the most vital industries with increasingly positive growth prospects. Similar to major projects across multiple industries, storing the documentation connected to renewable energy becomes crucial for information and data-sharing with significant third parties and people within the organization. A virtual data room provides an efficient and secure platform for all major decision-makers and stakeholders within the organization to make well-informed decisions in a timely and effective manner. These data rooms provide top-of-the-line security features, optimized due diligence process, efficient cooperation process of teams, and integration of multiple third-party tools. Therefore, the efficiency and optimization that VDR provides to momentous renewable energy industry players create ample growth opportunities for the market..
The information technology plays an important role in successful implementation of work-from-home model in many European countries. There was a huge fall in the number of merger and acquisition (M&A) deals across the region from 2019 to 2020. For instance, in 2020, ~2,600 deals were completed in the UK, registering the decrease of 13% than that in 2019. However, the reopening of economies and successful implementation of vaccine drives have encouraged several big M&A deals to accelerate growth, expansion, and market share. For instance, a consortium of investors led by Cassa depositi e Prestiti S.p.A. acquired an 88.06% stake of Autostrade per l'Italia S.p.A in mid-2021, which is the largest M&A deal in Europe in 2021 so far. Additionally, the adoption of work-from-home model has created a significant demand for digital solutions for data management and collaboration, such as virtual data rooms. Furthermore, the upcoming integration of machine learning and AI algorithms to manage and sort virtual data has created positive prospects for key players in the European virtual data room market as a large number of stakeholders are concerned about data accuracy and security from cyberattacks.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The virtual data room market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 388.39 million in 2021 to US$ 934.37 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.6% from 2021 to 2028. M&A activities, whether auction processes, acquisitions, or mergers, employ technology to enhance deals' success rate and increase productivity.
