Global Customer Relationship Management Growth Opportunities, 2022

To deliver a great customer experience, organizations today want a single view of customers across all touchpoints, which can be achieved through customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. The goal for businesses is to capture and leverage the wealth of available customer data to have profitable, productive, value-rich, experience-enhancing, and loyalty-building interactions with their customers, and to apply it in their marketing and sales initiatives.

More customer actions will be captured by artificial intelligence (AI)-driven CRM systems to maximize value. Social media conversations, Internet of Things-connected products, and augmented and virtual reality will be deeply mined for insights, including improvements and anticipatory, intent-based, targeted offers.

CRM applications will become deeply integrated with adjacent marketing, sales, planning, and management solutions, and with digital channels to provide a unified customer and user experience at lower IT and vendor management costs.

This report discusses such noteworthy industry trends, key insights about the CRM software market, industry growth drivers and restraints, CRM solution vendors’ focus, and growth opportunities.
