The CDP market continues to receive significant investment from enterprise players like Salesforce and Adobe, as well as venture capital firms of all sizes. The market experienced 65% growth in total funding in 2018 and is on pace to exceed that figure this year.
The growth is driven by an ever-increasing mandate for CMOs to drive dynamic one-to-one personalization for their customers – connecting online and offline experiences and leveraging data science. Existing marketing and data technologies have proven that they’re simply not up to the task.
