Strengthening demand for CBCCI solutions during the past 18 months has driven a surge of activity in this market, including a substantial number of mergers and acquisitions. DMG expects the CBCCI market to continue to pick up momentum over the next 5 years, and likely for at least the following 10, as there are many premise-based contact center seats to replace and even more enterprise-wide opportunities opening up.
The CBCCI market is active, and the future looks very bright
The CBCCI market is the fastest growing IT sector in contact centers because these solutions are giving enterprises what they want - the agility to meet their customers' evolving inbound and outbound needs, in voice and digital channels. Innovation in the contact center market is focused on cloud-based solutions. These CBCCI vendors are investing heavily in research and development (R&D) to enable their clients to deliver an outstanding and differentiated customer experience, cost effectively. The adoption rate of CBCCI seats was only an estimated 17% as of the end of calendar year 2020, evidencing the substantial opportunities these vendors have to open up the rest of the contact center market. But this is just a small piece of the addressable market for these valuable customer-facing solutions. DMG Consulting predicts that CBCCI functionality will become a standard productivity tool across enterprises in the next 10 years. This means that CBCCI capabilities will be used by a large percentage of knowledge workers far beyond the contact center.
