The Importance of Customer Experience in 2025
Customer experience encompasses all aspects of a company's interaction, from product research to the moment the product arrives at the customer's doorstep.
The diverse, competitive offerings offered by companies contribute to increasing customer loyalty and retention. Recommendations from satisfied customers also help distinguish a brand's reputation in the industry and increase profits. “2025 will be a pivotal year for customer experience, with the convergence of AI, data, and technology unlocking exceptional opportunities for brands to connect with their customers,” said John Abo, President of TTEC Engage, a leading technology and services innovator in customer experience. “By embracing these trends, companies can deliver personalized and impactful interactions that drive loyalty, growth, and market differentiation.”
What are the most prominent customer experience trends for 2025 (CX Trends):
In parallel with technological advancements, customer experience (CX) will evolve in 2025, relying more heavily on digital tools and technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation. Below, we outline the most prominent of these key trends:
AI copilot tools
AI copilot tools are advanced software assistants designed to enhance productivity by assisting users with various tasks across multiple domains. These tools leverage artificial intelligence to provide contextual support, automate routine processes, and offer intelligent suggestions, thereby streamlining workflows and improving efficiency. According to Zendesk's CX Trends 2025 report, 75% of customers support employees using AI to formulate responses, a 10 percentage point increase from last year. This demonstrates customer confidence and acceptance of AI-powered services.
AI Agents
AI agents are autonomous systems designed to perform tasks on behalf of users or other systems with minimal or no human intervention. TTEC Engage predicts that AI agents will grow in popularity as they become more intelligent, predictive, and easily integrated into customer experience systems, enabling them to offer suggestions and analyze context and emotion during interactions. A notable example is the use of AI agents by the finance department of Siemens, Europe's largest manufacturer, not only to respond immediately to customer requests, such as sending invoices, but also to anticipate consumer needs.
Personal AI Assistant
You may have heard your child call on Siri or Alexa to help them find a YouTube video or search for something on Google. Customers' growing interest in AI assistants is helping them continually evolve to help them automate their lives. Although Gen Z and Millennials' use of AI assistants differs, consumers' preference for AI in customer experience has actually risen to 67%, a 10 percentage point increase year-over-year, according to Zendesk's CX Trends 2025 report.
Voice AI
You may have watched a comedy reel featuring someone confiding in an AI instead of a friend. Perhaps the most notable feature that made this content popular at one point and still is the voice messaging technology in ChatGPT, which has received millions of voices daily in various languages and dialects. According to the CX Trends 2025 report, more than half of consumers said they have interacted with advanced voice AI and are eager for businesses to adopt these technologies.
AI and Customer Loyalty
The CX Trends 2025 report shows that 91% of customer experience leaders believe AI can effectively personalize experiences. The technologies discussed above and consumer interactions with them will contribute to sustainable customer satisfaction. Providing personalized services to each customer's experience based on their preferences will help build greater customer loyalty within a company's or brand's database, which will positively reflect on advanced data insights and drive higher purchase rates. According to a PwC study, 54% of marketing managers increased their budget for customer loyalty and retention this year.
In Conclusion
Technologies powered by artificial intelligence and automation are helping to deliver greater customer satisfaction across businesses and brands. It can be argued that 2025 will shift customer experience toward more valuable and high-quality customer experience analytics. Advanced tools will help alleviate the burden of repetitive tasks and direct them toward more strategic growth and loyalty.
