At 30.42%, the share of enterprises in Denmark paying for CRM software as a cloud service was 2.7 times the EU27 average of 11.34% in 2023. That is the third-highest figure among the 16 countries compared here.
CRM and ERP in Denmark, against the EU27
Since 2018, when the figure stood at 22.75%, CRM adoption has risen 7.67 points, a steeper climb than the EU27 average's 4.69. Ranked on the 2018 figures it would have been second, so it has lost 1 place.
ERP is the stronger of the two measures: 33.02% of enterprises paid for ERP software as a cloud service in 2023, 2.6 points more than did so for CRM. That is 21.29 points above the EU27's 11.73% and second of 16, 1 place higher than on CRM. It was 22.68% in 2021; the 10.34-point rise since then outpaces the 2.08 points the EU27 average added. In the CRM ranking Denmark sits between the Netherlands (30.64%) and Sweden (22.99%).
