12 Must-Know Stats on the State of Digital Transformation

The concept of digital transformation (DX) dates back to the 1950s but has become a major topic in recent times as a result of increased market competition, technological advancements and COVID-19. In fact, the global DX market is estimated to reach 1,009.8 billion by 2025 with a CAGR 16.5% since 2020.  

But with this term encompassing so many different technologies and initiatives, how can digital transformation be truly defined?  

Digital transformation is the process by which firms integrate technologies into every aspect of their operations to bring about profound change. Its benefits are endless, as it leads to
