Customer Experience In The Oil Industry Statistics

With the global omnichannel contact center software market projected to hit $38.4 billion by 2029 and conversational AI reaching $9.96 billion by 2024, oil and gas CX teams are being pushed to modernize how customers get help across every channel and turnaround time. The same pressure shows up in sustainability expectations too, where IPCC AR6 estimates tie 3.1% of global value added emissions to energy supply chains, forcing operators to treat transparency and reliability as part of the customer experience, not just operations.
