COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 Pandemic to Propel the Demand for Customer Data Platform

With the global spread of COVID-19, many organizations encountered difficulties providing their employees with appropriate access to high-quality data. To maintain business inflow, organizations have been investing in infrastructure that allows access to the company's collected data. Depending on their services and products, different industries developed remote working strategies. The consumer-facing organization relies heavily on customer data to acquire a new customer base and retain existing ones to maintain business stability.

In addition, the novel coronavirus has played an important role in boosting the demand for data solutions. During the pandemic, many sectors ranging from the government to retail have shifted toward digitalization to continue their business operations smoothly and efficiently.

The software provides users in various locations with access to data to maintain the business process. As a result, having a single, trustworthy source allows advertisers and marketers to appropriately target customers based on their preferences, location, and needs. The CDP’s real-time data will ensure ROI via campaigns organized from remote locations by product developers and managers. In such crises, incorrect data can lead to the company's decline. As a result, ensuring accurate data about customers and their demands has become critical. In such a scenario, the platform can provide real-time and personalized solutions. Thus, the demand for customer data platforms is expected to rise in the pandemic situation.

Adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Drive Market

With increasing availability of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies, the next-generation customer data platform is becoming popular. It uses AI, ML, and natural language processing to reduce the workload of marketing teams.

AI-enabled tools allow providers to offer personalized solutions and services to customers, which help in improving customer experience and maintaining customer relationships. For instance, the platform analyses customer patterns and behavior across all channels. AI and ML generate data sets, evaluate and compare the relationships between these data, such as product or service preferences, and purchase history, and then offer recommendations for the customer's next need and purchase plans. The marketer gains a better and deeper understanding of their customer base and purchasing patterns due to AI and ML.

With AI at the core of CDP, analysis and appropriate results would provide the next best action to improve the customer experience. For instance, in conjunction with AI and historical data on customer purchasing traits, customer data platforms will recommend the next best product based on their preferences. Advanced data analysis and intelligence are expected to increase platform adoption. This would also provide better predictions based on the customer's purchasing history and patterns, allowing for a more appropriate recommendation.

DRIVING FACTORS

CDP's Real-Time and Personalized Data Analysis to Drive customer Data Platform Market Growth

Customers are now present on every channel or platform for everyday activities such as reading books, checking emails, online shopping for food and apparel, social media apps, and online payments. As a result, the number of data sets has increased along with the number of customers that enter, quit, or switch between apps frequently. Thus, keeping track of real-time engagement is critical. This database is being used by businesses to make valuable offers and recommendations to clients based on their app and website usage.

The marketer collects and analyzes data with the help of a customer data platform before executing the marketing strategy. Previously, data was stored in a decentralized system, making it difficult and time-consuming to collect data in a single frame and analyze it. The solution stores the data on a single platform from which all analysis is carried out. When users enter any information about a customer, it provides personalized real-time data. This means that the analysis is provided real-time. The moment the data is fed, it provides certain related analyses about the customer and its choices. This aids in increasing customer engagement and developing a suitable customer experience strategy.

Furthermore, the customer does not have to return to the website with the same preferences the next time they visit. The historical data about the customer will not be applicable at that time; instead, the platform will collect the customer's most recent choices and requirements to guide the business while providing solutions and services. For instance, based on preferences, brand, and price, the marketer can recommend related topics to the customers' most recent searches or the product offer the customer is looking for.

The transparency of the platform allows the marketing team to take quick actions, and thus can gain more customer loyalty. The platform improves relationships with vendors and partners through transparent, targeted interactions. This is expected to sustain the customer data platform market growth in the coming years.

Rising Importance of Customer Satisfaction and CRM in BFSI Sector to Aid Market Growth

In the BFSI sector, CDP is prominently used to collect and analyze customer data quickly. BFSI has witnessed an increase in online client interaction in recent years. The increasing availability and affordability of the internet has encouraged customers to use numerous online channels to interact with banks, insurance firms, and other financial institutions. Thus, this has encouraged financial institutions to implement a customer engagement strategy. To engage customers online, a company must first understand its personal information and purchasing traits. As a result, the BFSI sector is heavily investing in customer engagement strategies and approaches for maintaining partnership and sponsorship.

With increased pressure of online engagement, the BFSI industry focuses on providing personalized customer engagement across all channels. Banks could recognize prospective customers through historical data searches and queries before logging in to websites using CDP.

For instance, a user visits an insurance company's website, accesses the medical insurance page, spends some time on it, and then leaves. The solution monitors the users’ whole journey and analyses where they spend the most time and their search history. When a customer enters the website, offers linked to his previous experience, such as medical insurance, are displayed. The platform provides BFSI marketers foundation as well as a platform for delivering customer-centric experiences.

The customer data platform market is driven by the growing opportunity for customer experience in the BFSI industry.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Customer Data Privacy Concerns to Obstruct Adoption

Recently, major customer data providers encountered legal issues regarding sharing customer insights within organizations. Today's internet users are more concerned about the privacy of their personal information. With this growing concern, Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was enacted to protect the customers’ private data. According to the law, organizations do not have legal rights to their customers' data. In addition, the customer has the right to know where and how their personal information is being used and for what purpose. This has restricted data sharing and is expected to hinder the growth of the market.

SEGMENTATION

By Component Analysis

Services Segment to Grow Steadily During Forecast Period

By component, the customer data platform market is categorized into platforms and services. The platforms segment is expected to obtain the majority market share during the forecast period. The need for software is growing in response to the rising need for customer satisfaction.

Big competitors, including Oracle Inc. and Microsoft Corp. have also joined the industry by acquiring small and local vendors. These companies invest in the platform's maintenance and AI and ML integration services. For instance, in June 2019, Dun & Bradstreet acquired a local AI-powered customer data platform provider, Lattice Engines, based in the U.S. B2B enterprises will use the company's platform to improve their tailored and omnichannel marketing efforts. As a result, for the anticipated term, the services are likely to gain traction.

By Deployment Analysis

Industry Adoption of Customer Data Platforms to Increase Due to Cloud-Based Deployment

By deployment, the market is categorized into cloud and on-premises. On-premises segment is expected to have a large revenue share. For instance, advertisers and markets manage the on-premises system. Some businesses prefer on-premises software as it gives complete control over their data. With the development of cloud-based technology, CDP users are increasingly using on-premises. A cloud-based platform provides more storage space and allows for more cost-effective expansion. Cloud-based technology provides data security as well as the capabilities needed to protect sensitive client information. On a cloud-based solution, data can be accessed in real-time. For instance, in October 2019, Teredata.com partnered with Google LLC to deliver its CDP on the Google cloud. The firms will be able to access and analyze all data at low-cost storage, owing to this agreement. Thus, cloud-based platforms are becoming more popular.

Analytics Type to Grow Rapidly Owing to Rising Investment

As a result, businesses will be able to engage with specific customers based on their needs. Thus, the analytics segment is expected to grow at an exponential rate over the forecasted period.

By Industry Analysis

Wide Adoption in Retail & E-Commerce and Healthcare Industry to Boost CDPs

By industry, the customer data platform market is categorized into banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), retail and e-commerce, information technology (IT) and telecom, media and entertainment, travel and hospitality, healthcare, and others (government, education).

In today's digital world, retail and e-commerce businesses quickly adopt marketing automation tools for business growth. Real-time marketing systems built on central platforms, such as CDP, can take marketing strategies to the next level. The increasing competition in the retail and e-commerce markets is increasing the use of the platform to reach a suitable customer. One method of targeting customers offline is to use their online data history. For instance, a customer visits a retail website and adds items to their cart before abandoning the cart and logging out. When the same customer visits the same brand's offline store, they receive offers based on previous cart transactions, owing to real-time CDP. The customers receive an enhanced offline customer experience as a result of their previous purchasing history.

Retailers can improve customer experience and conversations with the help of the solution. In this highly competitive market, CDP benefits the retailer who uses it and creates unified brand views.

Similarly, in the healthcare industry, personalized information leads to satisfied customers. It provides immediate assistance to the patient at the appropriate time. Recently, the explosion of data in the healthcare industry has created new opportunities for data monitoring. Without a central analytics platform, it is near impossible to maintain the process of recording, analyzing, and updating data on patient medical visits and activity, hospital records, and insurance specifics. Even minor lack of data can result in incorrect diagnosis and treatment recommendations. It is designed with a centralized data storage capacity, allowing healthcare providers to respond quickly to emergencies.

Providence St. Joseph Health, a healthcare provider, implemented CDP to provide patients with a real-time call center experience. This enabled the health provider on the line to provide and assist with the caller's proper personal information. The platform shortened the time it took to collect data. This has resulted in increased productivity and lower risk to a patient's health.
