Session Replay Software Market - Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Rising Adoption of Session Replay Software to Improve Conversion Rates – Session replays help to resolve many website and application-related issues including bug fixes, customer onboarding, and customer engagement. Session replay software records the customer clicks and feedback as well as lets the user sync the visitor recordings with Jira, Slack, and other tools to optimize the conversion rate. On average, businesses spend USD 2,000 a month on CRO tools, with an average ROI of 223%.
- Growing Use of Automation and Artificial Intelligence for Session Replay Integration – According to a recent survey, data-driven organizations are 23 times more likely to acquire customers, 5 times more likely to retain customers, and 17 times more likely to be profitable. Artificial intelligence can sort through every issue that session replay possesses, which humans cannot. For instance, in March 2023, the release of DataRobot AI Platform 9.0, along with enhanced partner integrations, AI Accelerators, and revised service options, was announced by DataRobot.
- Launch of New Mobile Application- In June 2022, around 36,000 iOS mobile apps were launched worldwide in the App Store. The new mobile application can use a session replay atmosphere to improve the user interface.
Challenges
- Growing Lawsuits Faced by Session Replay Software Providers - In the US, the vast majority of wiretapping complaints centered on charges that businesses secretly recorded customer service phone calls. The majority of these lawsuits were filed by CIPA Sections 632 and 632.7, and several of them have reached substantial settlements. For instance, Fifth Third Bank and its vendor resolved a CIPA dispute earlier this year for a stunning USD 50 million; Wells Fargo resolved a related lawsuit for USD 28 million. Lawsuits that accuse session-replay technology of being a type of wiretapping began to gain traction around 2018 and continued into 2020.
