CDP Market Expands in 2025, Acquisitions Reshape Landscape
The CDP industry reported its strongest organic growth since 2022 in the first half of 2025, with employment rising 3.4% among existing vendors. Composable CDPs grew 12.9% but remain niche. Six acquisitions, including Salesforce's $8B purchase of Informatica, are reshaping the market as CDP capabilities become embedded in broader platforms. Funding remains scarce, with only Klaviyo and Chord raising notable rounds. The report highlights a trend toward zero-copy data architecture and a shift from standalone CDPs to integrated data and activation ecosystems.
The CDP market is a key component of MarTech; the trend of consolidation and embedding into broader platforms affects data strategy and customer experience across the industry, but it is not an industry-shifting event like major platform changes.
