Discover Essential E-Signatures Market Growth Statistics

Over the past decade, the number of individuals and organizations that use e-signature has grown exponentially, and here are two facts:

• In 2020, the electronic signature market reached $2.8 billion. In just five years, the number of global e-signature transactions increased from 89 million to 754 million.
• According to the same report, the global digital signature market is expected to reach $14.1 billion by 2026.

Also, E-Signature Reduces Costs and Enhances Workflow

• Annually, American businesses spend more than $120 billion on paper documents, though most of these paper forms will be out of date in three months. US companies also spend $8 billion a year for paper documents handling. Switching to electronic signatures significantly reduced paper costs and helped many organizations to optimize their workflow.
• Businesses save 55-78% in administrative costs by collecting signatures via electronic documents instead of paper-based ones. This includes materials such as used paper and pens, shipping costs, administrative staff, and subscription costs. Thus, the transition from handwritten to electronic signature has significantly reduced the costs of companies.

• 65% of businesses that use pen and paper add a full day to their workflow. Switching to an e-signature medium provides a more convenient alternative document flow system for the client, saving them from coming to the company and waiting for documents to arrive. It is also beneficial for the company, reducing the time required for preparation, delivery, and meeting.

• Reduce errors by 80%. When a customer signs a document electronically, companies notice an 80% reduction in signing errors. Most probably because electronic signatures can be re-executed with a simple click of the mouse if an error is made. With the manual paper-based methods, when someone signs a document in the wrong place or makes a mistake, it must be reprinted.
• The number of missing files decreased by 66%. Probably everyone has a paper contract or important documents that they keep at home. Still, often, after months or even years, when they suddenly need these documents, they are difficult to find. With the advent of the electronic signature, the need for storing documentation has disappeared, and now you can easily find the files that you need in a few clicks.
• Companies have a performance improvement of 85%. This is largely due to reduced time for administrative tasks such as printing and sending documents before making appointments with clients. Electronic signatures are sent in a few minutes, reducing the time it takes to prepare, send and sign documents. By automating your e-signing workflow, Clustdoc allows your team to double its productivity while working remotely with anyone.
• Customer loyalty increased by 500%. Over time, companies have come to believe that user experience is a very important criterion for their success. Consumers love that their experience is simplified as much as possible, and they value those companies that offer them a minimum of effort. Companies that allow clients to fill out and sign documents remotely rather than sit in long unnecessary meetings, definitely win the client’s trust.
