Litigation Funding Investment Market Outlook:
Litigation Funding Investment Market size was valued at USD 20.64 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 51.09 billion by the end of 2036, rising at a CAGR of 8.08% during the forecast period i.e., between 2026 and 2036. In 2026, the industry size of litigation funding investment is estimated at USD 23.48 billion.
The market growth is owing to rising awareness about the advantages of litigation funding, catering to business contract disputes, intellectual property cases, and fraud-related lawsuits. Thus, small and medium enterprises and large corporations are investing in deploying litigation funding solutions. Several industry giants are steadily recognizing the potential of litigation funding as an alternative investment source. For instance, LexShares introduced LexShares Marketplace Fund II in 2020. This is a dedicated litigation finance fund with a target size of around USD 100 million. Another example is FightRight Technologies, an Indian startup with launched a Rs.100 crore fund targeting high-net-worth individuals interested in investing commercial legal cases.
Governments have also engaged in litigation funding, particularly in cases involving significant public interest or substantial financial implications. For instance, in the UK, this funding has supported significant cases such as the sub-postmaster’s fight against the Post Office or various equal pay and consumer right claims. This is also expected to fuel the demand for litigation funding investments.
