Foundever®, a global leader in customer experience (CX) solutions, has just released its latest annual study, “2025 CX Trends Report – From Buzzword to Business Case.” This study analyzes the main trends that will shape the sector in 2025, highlighting how the increasing capabilities of generative artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming customer experience from a technological promise into a strategic pillar for business success.
In a context of challenging economic conditions and increasing consumer demands, adapting CX delivery remains key to overcoming obstacles and driving growth. In 2025, emerging trends will be driven more than ever by the transformative possibilities of generative AI. This technology is rapidly evolving from a cutting-edge concept into a practical tool that redefines how organizations understand, deliver, and measure performance in CX.
This study provides organizations with an in-depth analysis of emerging changes, allowing them to turn these into concrete objectives and efficient strategies that enhance the optimization of their operations and provide a customer experience aligned with growing consumer expectations.
The study identifies six main trends that will help organizations turn challenges into competitive advantages:
Superior Service - The era of "hyper-helpful" agents has arrived. Automating repetitive tasks and improving agent support tools allow them to focus on what truly matters: creating value for the customer. Generative AI is fundamental to optimizing these operations, from real-time data management to the automatic creation of consistent, brand-aligned content.
Premium Partners – BPO industry leaders are transforming into strategic partners, offering solutions that go beyond cost reduction. Companies that adopt a results-oriented collaboration model can benefit from advanced insights, quality optimization, and technological innovation.
Greater Inclusion – Self-service options are not just an expectation but a growing necessity for all customer segments. AI enables the creation of inclusive and personalized solutions that address the preferences of different audiences, including different formats of information and support (text, voice, video, etc.). This format allows customers the option to exit self-service and return to assisted service to always have a response.
Consumer Concerns – Ethics in AI application will be a priority in 2025. Transparent and responsible practices will be essential to building trust, ensuring brand integrity, and mitigating concerns about data usage and potential biases in models.
Role Reversal – Contact centers are transitioning from cost centers to revenue generators. Equipped with analytical tools and real-time insights, agents will be able to identify opportunities to increase customer value and reduce churn, directly contributing to business growth.
Employment Optimization - Successful AI integration requires deep cultural and organizational changes. Companies that adopt a strategic approach to change management will be better positioned to transform their processes and redefine employee roles.
“This year, the customer experience landscape is set for significant transformation driven by generative AI. Our whitepaper highlights the need for businesses to adapt and innovate to meet consumers' expectations. By focusing on ethical practices and inclusivity, we can ensure that every customer feels valued and understood." says Mina Wahba Egypt’s Country Leader, at Foundever.
While many of these trends are already emerging, the study emphasizes that transformation will be crucial for companies aiming to become leaders in CX. This transformation involves reevaluating organizational cultures, redefining partnerships, and creating bold strategies that capitalize on the potential of AI.
