Mobile Sales Force Automation Market to Reach $3.68 Billion by 2023 in North America with AI and Machine Learning
Integration and customization services create greater growth opportunities for SFA vendors, finds Frost & Sullivan
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Booming customer demand for industry-specific solutions, monetization of professional services, and greater use of machine learning and artificial intelligence to offer detailed selling guidance are expected to drive the $1.83 billion mobilized sales force automation (SFA) market toward $3.68 billion by 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CARG) of 15.00%. SFA developers will continue to offer new integration capabilities with both internal and external systems, with a special focus on integrating with field service management solutions and providing sales reps with a 360-degree view of customer history and issues.
"The increased technological sophistication and expectations of field sales organizations are driving aggressive product development strategies," said Jeanine Sterling, Industry Director, Information & Communication Technology. "A provider's channel and technology partnerships are critical to success and the market is witnessing an increasing number of systems integrator relationships."

"Almost 81% of US businesses that currently use mobile SFA have chosen a prepackaged mobile SFA solution, while the remaining 19% have created a fully customized offering," noted Sterling. "SFA vendors are not only looking to provide day-to-day support such as lead and contact management and quote generation, but also proactive guidance via predictive analytics. They are also responding to market demand by ensuring a high level of integration with clients' customer relationship management (CRM) systems."
For increased growth opportunities, SFA leaders should:
- Identify industries that deploy significant numbers of field sales personnel and then work with these industries to address underserved or unaddressed vertical-specific needs regarding sales automation and support.
- Establish a high-touch post-sale relationship with customers to swiftly identify and act upon the inevitable incremental sales opportunity.
- Evaluate the sales potential of monetizing their customization and integration services.
- Further leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence to enhance guided selling, create digital assistants, and improve social media and news site survey tools.
- Engage wireless carriers as channel partners to penetrate the small- and medium-sized business sector.
