Assessing Global Interest in Customer Experience

I often look at the statistics for this blog to gauge the demand for my content in different countries. I decided to share a little analysis I did looking at the volume of blog readers by country over the last 90 days and comparing that with the GDP levels of those countries. This chart shows the top 15 countries in terms of my readership.

CXMattersvsGDP

I think this is a relatively good gauge of global interest in customer experience, although it probably underweights some regions where there might be more non-english activities around CX. Here are some observations:

  • U.S. is by far the largest market for CX, followed by the UK and then Canada
  • New Zealand has the most active CX interest for its size, followed by UK, U.S. and Singapore
  • Germany, Italy, France, and Spain have low relative levels of interest in CX
  • China, Japan, Russia, Mexico, and South Korea are in the top 15 in GDP, but not in the top 15 for my blog

The bottom line: U.S., UK and New Zealand show the strongest interest in CX Matters

I enjoy researching and speaking about these topics. I lead the Qualtrics XM Institute, which is the world's best job. We're igniting a global community of XM Professionals who are inspired and empowered to radically improve the human experience.

    Go little old New Zealand. It’s good to know that we are making an appearance!

    You are right, there is a growing appetite for Cx down here at the moment. In some ways we were late to the party, but our smaller scale affords some organisations the chance to move quickly once we realise a trend like this.
