The 2026 CX Budget Guide:

CX budgets are rising – 68% of leaders expect growth this year – but increased spending isn’t guaranteed to improve results. While 88% of service leaders report higher customer expectations, many organisations are finding that their investment in new tools is outpacing their ability to actually deliver better outcomes.

The gap isn’t a lack of funding; it’s a lack of alignment. This guide breaks down exactly where CX leaders are allocating capital in 2026 and how to ensure your technology spend translates into measurable ROI.
