Customer experience (CX) is typically defined as the sum of a customer’s experience with a product, brand, or service, encompassing all interactions before, during, and after a transaction. Providing a positive and pleasant CX is important to every business and organization, as few customers will continue a business relationship if they are treated poorly or with indifference. Moreover, according to a new report from Dash Research, CX has become the key differentiator between competitors, particularly as price and product selection have become somewhat irrelevant, due to the expansion and ubiquity of e-commerce.

“Although improvements to the overall customer experience are largely driven by organizational change management, software is increasingly being used to support these initiatives by managing and making available the plethora of customer data that is captured or aggregated from a variety of sources,” says principal analyst Keith Kirkpatrick.

Dash Research forecasts that the global market for CX and customer engagement (CE) software and services will expand to $119.7 billion by 2026, up from $78.3 billion in 2019, reflecting a 2019-2026 compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. This forecast represents an upgrade to Dash Research’s previous CX/CE forecast, published in 3Q 2021, due to increased estimates for market participants’ revenue, in addition to greater growth in Latin America and the Middle East & Africa.

The CX market intelligence firm projects that five industry sectors will constitute approximately 55% of total revenue during the forecast period:

  1. Telecommunications
  2. Healthcare
  3. Financial Services & Insurance
  4. Retail/eTail
  5. Government/Public Sector

Other industries with high growth rates between 2019 and 2026 include Media & Entertainment, Food & Beverage, and Consumer Products.

Key drivers for market growth, according to the report, are as follows:

  • The reopening and refocusing of businesses in the post-COVID era
  • Demand for true omnichannel communications
  • Data privacy and security issues
  • The increasing focus on employees
  • Predictions and next-best-actions become CX drivers
  • An ongoing demand to create deeper and longer-lasting customer relationships
