Forrester released its 2026 Global Total Experience Score rankings, which evaluates how brand perception and customer experience influence overall brand standing among both customers and noncustomers. The report notes that a unified total experience drives significantly higher revenue for companies, with improvements seen across most regions evaluated. Forrester also introduced the Employee Experience Index (EX Index) to measure how employee satisfaction impacts business outcomes.
Key points
- The Total Experience Score combines Customer Experience (CX), Brand Experience (BX), and a new Employee Experience (EX) Index into one unified performance view.
- Globally, 41% of the evaluated brands improved their scores, while only 3% saw a decline in the rankings.
- Companies that align their brand promise with delivered experiences achieve significantly higher revenue and retention rates.
- The new EX Index helps leaders assess whether employee experience strengthens or weakens business outcomes.
- Regional findings show mixed results: Asia Pacific improvements were noted in Australia and India, while Europe saw 17% of Total Experience Scores increase with none decreasing.

AI insight
AI-generatedThe structural corporate focus on CX/EX drives sustained investment in digital infrastructure across GLOBAL_TECH and EM_SERVICES; therefore these sectors are expected to see moderate long-term margin expansion. Key risk: The rapid, short-term revenue spikes predicted for all sectors are highly speculative due to complex procurement cycles and localized market friction.
The article reports on brand performance rankings (Total Experience Score) based on customer, brand, and employee experience indices. This is a high-level service/consulting report that signals improving consumer confidence and corporate focus on CX/EX, but it does not affect specific product pricing, input costs, or create immediate supply chain scarcity for any commodity or sector. The impact is limited to marketing spend and operational efficiency improvements (cost reduction) rather than market price shifts.

This analysis would be wrong if
If major corporate spending on CX platforms requires only minimal budget approval time (e.g., < 2 weeks) or if local regulatory hurdles in EM markets prove negligible, the short-term direction for GLOBAL_TECH/EM_SERVICES would invert to 'up' with higher magnitude.
Sustained CX focus drives moderate long-term investment in digital infrastructure; therefore EM_SERVICES sees increased B2B service margins.
