Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The content marketing software market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.26 billion in 2024 to $11 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to digital marketing evolution, demand for targeted content, social media influence, SEO and search engine algorithms, brand storytelling emphasis.
The content marketing software market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.08 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.0%.

Major trends in the forecast period include shift towards user-generated content platforms, expansion of video content marketing solutions, personalization and targeted content delivery, integration with e-commerce platforms, adoption of content distribution automation.
The forecast of 19.0% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Higher tariffs on foreign-developed analytics tools and marketing automation platforms could raise the cost of content marketing solutions in the US. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rise in digitalization is anticipated to accelerate the growth of the content marketing software market in the future. Digitalization involves transitioning from traditional business models to digital ones by utilizing the latest digital technologies. This shift promotes content marketing platforms that enable marketers to generate leads, enhance brand awareness, and boost revenue through their content. For example, in September 2024, reports from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), a UK government department, indicated that the Gross Value Added (GVA) from the digital sector grew by 4.4% in 2022, aligning with the overall growth rate of the UK economy, which also increased by 4.4%. Thus, the rise in digitalization is a key driver of the content marketing software market.
The ongoing expansion of the e-commerce industry is expected to drive the growth of the content marketing software market in the coming years. E-commerce, encompassing online buying and selling of goods and services, leverages content marketing software to bolster online presence and foster customer loyalty by delivering relevant and personalized content across various digital channels. As of November 2023, the International Trade Administration reported that the United Kingdom possessed the world's third-largest e-commerce market after China. Furthermore, U.S. consumer e-commerce accounted for 36.3% of the UK's total retail market as of January 2021, with projected e-commerce revenue reaching $285.60 billion by 2025. Hence, the expanding e-commerce industry serves as a driving force behind the growth of the content marketing software market.
