Customer experience management is moving from “nice to have” to budget line item fast. Gartner forecasts $716 billion in worldwide CRM end user spending for 2024, and the customer experience analytics and journey analytics markets are both projected to surge into the tens of billions by 2030. Yet the gap between what customers expect and what teams can deliver is where the real pressure sits, from AI speeding up resolution to the churn risks of weak NPS and data breach exposure.
