Significant trends during this forecasted period include the surge of AI-fueled self-service solutions, improvements to knowledge bases, the advent of mobile self-service applications, voice-controlled self-service, consistent enhancements via customer reviews, and harmonization with customer relationship management (CRM) platforms.
The anticipated growth of the customer self-service software market is largely attributed to the increased ease of access to customer service touchpoints. These touchpoints, which include real-time interaction between the consumer and a company's employee, website, application, or advertisement, play a pivotal role in optimizing a customer's buying and problem resolution process relative to a service or product, thus enhancing the customer experience. Notably, the shift towards customer self-service software by major corporations is driven by consumers' increasing desire for instant answers to their queries, as opposed to searching the web for solutions or waiting for assistance over the phone. For instance, Emplify Inc., a US-based Software-as-a-Service company, reported in 2022 that about 52% of consumers expect responses from brands within an hour, and 75% believe a comprehensive self-service customer care option is of significant importance. As such, the growth of the customer self-service software market is projected to be bolstered by the rising accessibility of customer service touchpoints.
