2023 Contact Center Workforce Engagement Management Market Share Report

Published June 27, 2023

DMG Consulting LLC’s Contact Center Workforce Engagement Management Market Share Report, formerly the Contact Center Workforce Optimization/Workforce Engagement Management Market Share Report, provides an authoritative analysis of revenue, market share, and performance for the estimated 36 worldwide WEM suite vendors in calendar year 2022, based on DMG Consulting’s in-depth coverage of this market for the past two decades.

Principal resource for vendors, investors, and members of the financial community 

The WEM suite market is highly resilient: Performing well in both good and tough economic times, WEM suite vendors generated sales of $2,395.9 million in 2022 from sales to contact centers; this is an increase of 7.1% from $2,236.9 million in 2021. Total GAAP revenue for the WEM suite vendors in fiscal 2022 was $4,325.9 million, up a very strong 10.0% from 2021. Double-digit year-over-year increases are good for any contact center IT sector, especially one as mature as WEM. The substantial revenue increase reflects the strong performance and innovation coming from the WEM competitors who continue to deliver solutions that enterprise clients find compelling and valuable.

Enterprises are purchasing WEM solutions from their CCaaS providers in order to simplify technology acquisition, application integration, and the ongoing management of their contact center systems. The cloud delivery model enables WEM suite vendors to supply the processing power to deliver on a growing list of innovations (most of which are AI-based and/or real-time) faster than ever. This positions these vendors to quickly monetize their new features, fueling an ongoing cycle of investments to further enhance their offerings. As larger enterprises join the ranks of organizations migrating to the cloud, DMG Consulting expects the WEM platform vendors to continue to experience strong growth.

The 2023 Contact Center Workforce Engagement Management Market Share Report presents and analyzes WEM market revenue at the highest level for total company, then breaks it down into multiple views. The report analyzes revenue and market share by vendor, sector, application, geography, sales model, vertical (contact center, back-office/branch, first responders, financial trading, dispatch, air traffic control), and more.
