Forrester's 2027 B2C Marketing, CX, And Digital Predictions: Rising AI Costs Will Force B2C Leaders To Scale Back A Third Of AI Initiatives – TradingView

SINGAPORE, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — According to Forrester's (Nasdaq: FORR) 2027 B2C marketing, customer experience, and digital predictions, rising AI costs will force B2C marketing leaders to scale back a third of AI initiatives. As AI usage grows and martech vendors increasingly adopt usage-based pricing models, every agent interaction, generated asset, and automated workflow becomes a billable event. As a result, leaders will need to make tougher decisions and focus investments on AI initiatives that deliver measurable business value.
Forrester's Predictions reports deliver forward-looking insights into the signals and trends that will shape the year ahead. Forrester's consumer marketing, CX, and digital business predictions cover topics including B2C marketing, customer experience, consumer behavior, digital commerce, media and advertising, marketing agencies, content and creative, and trust and privacy.
Additional highlights from Forrester's 2027 B2C marketing, CX, and digital predictions include:
"The challenge for leaders in 2027 will be gaining greater control without limiting growth," said Sharyn Leaver, chief research officer at Forrester. "Whether managing AI costs, preparing for agentic commerce, or earning trust in an increasingly synthetic digital world, organizations must make more deliberate decisions about where AI creates value, where human expertise matters most, and where investment is best spent."
