With how fast Salesforce is going, we know one thing for sure, the Salesforce ecosystem will continue to grow and evolve and everyone will want to adopt it quickly. Here are our Salesforce 2025 Predictions, so that you remain at the forefront.
Agentforce Evolution Beyond Initial Deployment
In 2025, Salesforce will likely shift its focus from the initial deployment of Agentforce to deeper integration and enhancement of AI capabilities across its entire product suite. These Salesforce technology advancements like Agentforce showcased the potential of autonomous AI agents, Salesforce will prioritize refining these technologies, ensuring robust security measures, and aligning AI development with industry-specific governance standards. This strategic shift will lay the foundation for more sophisticated and reliable AI-powered solutions across all Salesforce clouds.
Continued M&A Strategy of Salesforce
Salesforce will likely continue its aggressive M&A strategy in 2025, focusing on acquisitions that expand its market reach, enhance its AI capabilities, and address emerging industry trends. The recent acquisition of Tenyx, an AI voice agent, demonstrates Salesforce’s commitment to expand its AI voice capabilities. Consider this the CRM trends 2025, where we’ll further be expecting strategic acquisitions in areas such as cybersecurity, customer data preference, and industry-specific solutions.
In 2024, we observed Salesforce agencies and consultancies acquiring other firms with Salesforce expertise to provide ongoing support to their clients, driven by the rapid growth of the Salesforce ecosystem. This trend is expected to continue as the demand for expertise in Salesforce data and AI management rises.
Focus on Revitalizing key Salesforce products
While Salesforce has demonstrated strong growth across its core CRM offerings, certain product lines such as Mulesoft, have shown slower-than-expected growth which went from 26% in Q1,2024 to 1%, in Q3, 2025. Though we did see some products like sales, and service maintain their position, overall the growth was not that great.
We do expect, the visionary Salesforce CEO, Marc Benioff to bring the growth back in by prioritizing strategies to revitalize areas like leveraging AI capabilities to enhance the functionality and value proposition of these products.
Growth in Demand for Niche-specific Salesforce Skills
Last year employee growth was not great, many layoffs did happen in the industry. Economic turmoil, too much young talent, great competition, and fewer job openings combined led to the not-so-good overall employment outcome.
The demand for niche Salesforce skills will continue to grow in 2025, driven by the increasing complexity of AI-powered solutions and the need for specialized expertise. While the tech industry experienced some challenges in 2024, the long-term outlook for Salesforce professions remains positive.
As companies increasingly rely on Salesforce to drive digital transformation, the demand for skilled consultants and developers with deep expertise in areas such as AI, data integration, and industry-specific solutions will continue to rise.
Salesforce Agents for Complex tasks
Salesforce AI agents will get promotions where they’ll also start working on complex jobs.
Until December 2024, Salesforce agents were treated like novices, with humans testing them on simple, mundane tasks. However, after undergoing extensive testing, these agents gained human confidence. Once they successfully completed their trial and testing sessions, they were promoted to undertake more complex jobs, and their autonomy was no longer questioned.
From simple mundane tasks like updating the records, saving client interaction history, and suggesting appointment times, now we can give the Salesforce agent the proper job of a negotiator, or talk to angry customers to reach a certain level of compensation.
The rise of AI-powered Agents in the workforce
Despite everyone around using chatbots as personal friends, some workforce still doesn’t risk using an AI bot to get their work done. After all, who wants to mess up at work? Stats show that 2/3rds of workers say they still don’t use AI. We’ll definitely see that changing in 2025.
With agent's advanced reasoning and ability to make decisions and take actions, users can change how they engage customers. Tasks like automating projects, new hire onboarding, and generating content all become a breeze.
Continuous Salesforce Ecosystem Trends
While we have shared Salesforce 2025 predictions, some Salesforce innovations will continue to see an upward trend.
Data cloud and AI
2024 was all about data put to use for Einstein AI. It enabled us to complete a variety of tasks, such as assisting human sales agents in generating client interaction summaries and more. This trend will continue to rise as all the data the cloud gathers will be accessible to the AI agents, making it far more capable.
Adoption of AI tools by Developers
The ChatGPT wave took everyone by storm, everywhere you turned you saw people using this greatest AI tool. Similarly Salesforce community also accepted many AI apps and Salesforce developers will continue to use these apps. As per stats 30% of developers use AI tools for writing apex, lightning components, test classes, and having a trusty tool.
Salesforce remains a major cloud
Salesforce will continue to perform well in the CRM cloud ecosystem. They are supreme market leaders across sales, service, marketing, integration, and business messaging(Slack). This kind of market dominance will continue to rise with Einstein AI and the agent force AI agent adoption.
