Are you looking for market research on electronic discovery and the latest e-discovery trends? Kroll Ontrack, a leader in the e-discovery industry, recently published its Second Annual ESI Trends Report. The report has 2008 market research on e-discovery trends from its survey of U.S. and U.K companies.

The report is an international survey of in-house counsel and their practices for managing electronically stored information (ESI) in litigation and internal investigations. The report also separates the findings between the United States and United Kingdom.

The report notes that people are becoming more aware of e-discovery and more states are enacting laws to govern e-discovery.

The report notes a number of interesting results. For example:

United States companies spent an average of $437,000 on e-discovery, which includes planning and practice management. Compare that to U.K companies that spent an average of £208,000 on e-discovery.
