10 Stats That Show The Power Of The CX Industry

More than sales, finance or IT, one area of a company has the biggest impact on a company’s growth and success: customer experience. 

CX has grown in recent years to become a primary driver of growth, customer satisfaction and loyalty and employee engagement. The industry and discipline have become too powerful for companies to ignore, so much that companies that don’t prioritize customer experience run the risk of becoming obsolete.   

These 10 statistics show the power of the CX industry and the impact of a customer focus on all areas of a business.

3 . Companies that excel at customer experience have 1.5 times more engaged employees than less customer-focused companies.

6 . Global C-suite executives rank CX as their greatest avenue for growth. (Adobe)

Why it matters: Modern brands are faced with countless growth opportunities, but CX is recognized as the best chance to grow a brand.

7 . Nearly 80% of marketers say improving customer retention and satisfaction is the primary objective of their CX strategy—and 98% have been successful in reaching that objective. (Ascend2)

The CX industry is made powerful by the people who run it. CX professionals and changemakers are improving their organizations and industries every day as they push for a greater focus on customers and innovative solutions to meet their needs.

The industry will continue to increase its power and influence in the coming years and affect every aspect of a company.
