As of January 2024, over 180 CISG cases were reported for 2023. These include not only cases applying the CISG but also those referencing the CISG for interpretation of other laws, primarily national laws- such as a significant number of cases from Spain. Additionally, some cases do not apply the CISG but still reference it, as seen in the cases reported from the United Kingdom and India.
The majority of CISG cases originate from the Netherlands, with the United States having the second-highest number of reported cases. In contrast to previous years, there is a gradual increase in CISG cases from Turkey.
