The need for companies to understand customer behavior and act upon it is crucial. As the number of channels and touchpoints connecting customers with brands increases, as does the need for brands to glean more insight about the different types of journey those customers take.

A 2015 study found that 34% of large organizations regularly undertake customer journey mapping exercises, however, this figure is widely expected to increase as technology evolves to make the mapping process more sophisticated and evolutionary.

By 2018, Gartner predicts that 60% of large organizations will have in-house customer journey mapping capabilities, up from no more than 20% in 2015.
