Across a broad range of industries, the digital transformation has progressed from a competitive advantage to an outright business requirement. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, the global market for digital forms in upstream and midstream O&G, telecoms, electric utilities, and natural gas distribution is expected to grow from $350 million in 2022 to $1.24 billion in 2031 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%.

“Multiple interrelated factors are converging to incentivize energy and utilities players to adopt digital forms solutions,” says Clay Killingsworth, research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “Capturing the operational efficiencies afforded by replacing legacy communications and data collection methods with digital solutions is a must for energy and utilities industry participants to remain competitive in a rapidly changing market landscape.”

Despite clear incentives, significant barriers to digital forms adoption remain for energy and utilities customers. A leading factor is cost. Despite the efficiency--driven cost savings that digital forms solutions offer, startup costs may deter some potential customers from committing to the highest ROI digital forms use cases, according to the report.
