Research Report: Experience 2030, The Future of Customer Experience is Now

The team at Futurum Research partnered with SAS for a deep dive into all things customer experience, seeking to define what customer experience is today and how it will evolve through 2030. The end result, a research report that is not only a fascinating look at CX, but also a blueprint that you can use to develop your strategies moving forward — Experience 2030: The Future of Customer Service is Now.

In researching this global report, we surveyed some 4,000 consumer and brand panelists spanning dozens of countries, across multiple consumer, industry, and government sectors.

What consumers and brands told us was at times surprising, and always insightful. What we know for certain is that the future belongs to the brands who understand and embrace the importance of customer experience.

Our research identified five key themes driving the evolution of customer experience between now and 2030:

  • Smart technology: Consumers don’t use digital, they are digital
  • Immersive technology: Bridging the customer experience divide
  • Digital Trust: The evolving nature of trust
  • Loyalty in the digital age: Be a loyalty company, not a loyalty program
  • Agility and automation: Better engagement through technology

If your brand is going to survive and thrive in the age of disruption, developing a culture where customer experience is your obsession is mission critical.

The research presented in Experience 2030: The Future of Customer Service is Now will help you develop strategies and evolve the state of customer experience within your organization, helping increase  customer profitability, streamline operations, and foster loyalty today, into 2030 and beyond.

Are you ready for the future of customer experience? Because your customers are ready. Get started today on the next iteration of your business—your customers are counting on you.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
