Twilio Named a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Communications Engagement Platforms and the 2026 Omdia Universe for Customer Engagement Platforms<\/b><\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nTwilio Inc. (NYSE: TWLO), the customer engagement platform that drives real-time, personalized experiences for today’s leading brands, today announced that it has been named as a Leader in two industry reports by IDC and Omdia, underscoring the company\u2019s leadership and commitment to innovation in customer engagement. IDC positioned Twilio as a leader in the inaugural IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Communications Engagement Platform 2026 Vendor Assessment<\/i><\/a>(Doc #US53542326, April 2026).<\/i> This recognition reflects Twilio’s strong integration of communications, customer data, and AI capabilities, as well as its extensive partner ecosystem and global reach. Twilio was also named a Leader in the Omdia Universe: Customer Engagement Platforms, 2026<\/i><\/a>, the fourth consecutive time the company has earned this recognition. Together, these placements affirm Twilio’s position at the center of the CPaaS, CCaaS, CDP, and AI convergence.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cTwilio has a multi-layered customer engagement platform with a broad and diverse array of services. The company’s strength is the strong integration of its communications and data portfolio enhanced by AI tools,\u201d said Denise Lund, Research Vice President, Telecommunications and UC&C at IDC<\/b>. \u201cTwilio is a worldwide Leader in CPaaS, and CDP, and has a strong Contact Center offering with Twilio Flex. The company builds those key pillars with an array of orchestration tools with a foundation of AI engagement models for customer personalization.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cTwilio\u2019s leadership in this Omdia Universe starts with how deliberately it has evolved beyond its roots,\u201d said Mila D\u2019Antonio, Principal Analyst, Customer Engagement at Omdia.<\/b> \u201cWhile it is still synonymous with \u201ccommunications as code,\u201d Twilio has steadily expanded that foundation into a much broader engagement layer that combines communications, data, and intelligence.\u201d1<\/sup><\/p>\n

\nCompanies such as Best Buy, Netflix, All Nippon Airways (ANA), CLEAR, Rocket Mortgage, Zillow, and Lowe’s rely on Twilio’s Customer Engagement Platform to build direct, personalized relationships with their customers across the globe. In 2025, Twilio powered more than 2.5 trillion customer interactions for more than 402,000 active customer accounts.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe’ve spent 17 years becoming the infrastructure the world’s businesses rely on to reach their customers. But now AI agents are participants, not just tools, and that makes our foundation more important than ever,\u201d said Inbal Shani, Chief Product Officer and Head of R&D at Twilio<\/b>. \u201cThe hardest problem today isn’t generating a response. It\u2019s knowing who you’re talking to, what they need, and whether you’re authorized to act. Trusted, simple, and smart: that’s the platform we’ve built to power every moment that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nTwilio believes these recognitions reflect a broader analyst consensus on Twilio’s strategic positioning. IDC separately published a Market Perspective, Understanding Twilio’s Agentic Opportunity: Expanding from Communications Utility to Agent Control Plane<\/i><\/a>2<\/i><\/sup>, examining how Twilio’s infrastructure is positioned to support the governance and orchestration requirements of enterprise AI agent deployments. Gartner also recently named <\/a>Twilio the Company to Beat<\/a> for CPaaS AI<\/a>.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

\n“Twilio is positioned to abstract the orchestration and management of communications-first agents, at scale. As a result, Twilio has the potential to transition from a provider of programmable communications primitives into a state management engine for communication-first AI agents,” said Arnal Dayaratna, Research Vice President, Software Development at IDC.<\/b> “By 2029, IDC projects that Twilio can become the underlying infrastructure for 80 million to 100 million agents.”<\/p>\n

The Twilio Platform<\/b><\/p>\n

\nTwilio’s Customer Engagement Platform unifies communications, customer data, and AI into a foundational infrastructure layer, enabling businesses to build personalized, omnichannel experiences without stitching together point solutions. This integrated approach gives enterprises the flexibility to innovate while maintaining the reliability and compliance they require.<\/p>\n

\nOver the past year, Twilio delivered key innovations including:<\/p>\n
