Semiconductor marketers are being measured in new ways, and the gap between what buyers expect and what teams deliver is showing up in the numbers. For example, 60% of B2B buyers want to validate technical fit using third-party sources before speaking with sales, while 49% of marketers still list marketing analytics improvement as a top priority. If ABM is working, why do so many programs struggle to turn intent into pipeline and qualified demand.
Key Takeaways
- 60% of B2B buyers expect sellers to use data/insights to improve recommendations (buyer behavior benchmark relevant to marketing in technical industries).
- 1.7x average increase in pipeline from ABM compared with non-ABM (ABM performance benchmark).
- 2.4x higher conversion rates for landing pages with video than those without (content format performance benchmark).
- 49% of marketers say improving marketing analytics is a top priority (analytics priority benchmark).
- 62% of marketing organizations use account-based marketing (ABM) according to a 2024 survey (ABM adoption).

- $3.50 average cost per click in the B2B technology ad category in 2024 (benchmark).
- $1.67 million was the average cost for the first data breach incident in 2023, which can materially affect budgets for compliant martech deployment
- In 2023, phishing remained the most common initial attack vector for breaches at 35% of incidents in Verizon’s DBIR, reinforcing safer identity governance for marketing platforms
- 44% of B2B decision-makers start their research with generic searches rather than vendor sites (search behavior benchmark).
- 38% of B2B buyers use industry analyst reports to influence purchasing decisions (research influence benchmark).
- 68% of organizations expect to increase spending on first-party data and identity solutions in 2024–2025 (spending intent benchmark).
- 40% of data is generated by businesses that are using cloud services, while 60% is generated by consumers and enterprises using connected devices and apps—indicating cloud-driven scale for marketing-relevant datasets
- 5.3% of global IT spending in 2023 was allocated to marketing and advertising technologies (MarTech) based on enterprise software and IT services spend categories in the 2023 global forecast
- In 2024, 60% of B2B buyers want to validate technical fit using third-party sources before speaking with sales, strengthening the importance of analyst and peer content in semiconductor marketing
Semiconductor marketers are boosting pipeline with ABM, video, analytics, and trusted technical research while prioritizing data and SEO.
