Data Migration Statistics 2026

Original ResearchWritten byDataMigration.AI8 min read

Original benchmarks from 500+ enterprise migrations completed on the DataMigration.AI platform between Q1 2024 and Q1 2026. All statistics reflect real project outcomes, not modelled estimates.

Data Methodology

All statistics are derived from anonymised platform telemetry collected across 500+ enterprise migration projects completed on DataMigration.AI between Q1 2024 and Q1 2026. Projects span financial services, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing. Migration size ranged from 50GB to 200TB. Where comparisons reference industry baselines, these are sourced from Gartner — 2025 Data Integration Market Guide and IDC — Enterprise Data Migration Workloads Survey 2025. Statistics are updated quarterly. Last updated: March 2026.
