Over the five years through 2024, IP leasing revenue is projected to fall at a compound annual rate of 4.5% to €29.7 billion. IP leasing demand has benefitted from increasing technological complexity in vehicles, software and pharmaceuticals. Tax incentives have also driven up IP leasing by reducing the R&D costs, thereby cutting the prices charged for leasing IP. Demand from the radio frequency spectrum leasing market has surged thanks to the rollout of 5G across the majority of European geographies. However, IP leasing demand slumped at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused business confidence and research and development spending to tumble. Revenue has since bounced back, though, and is slated to swell by 0.2% in 2024 as European businesses continue to realise the benefits of leasing IP rather than developing it themselves. Revenue is forecast to surge at a compound annual rate of 4.8% over the five years through 2029, reaching €37.7 billion. Rising research and development expenditure across Europe will boost the pool of registered designs, patents and trademarks available in the market, fuelling revenue growth. European business and consumer sentiment is projected to strengthen moving forward, supporting demand for IP leasing. The ongoing trend of technological manufacturers across Europe becoming fabless will also drive up the need for leasing IP.
