PHOENIX, AZ – March 19, 2026 – Cognite, the global leader in Industrial AI and Data, has been positioned as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape Worldwide Industrial DataOps Platforms 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US53013025, March 2026).
The IDC MarketScape assessed the 2026 industrial DataOps platform market through the IDC MarketScape model, providing a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the characteristics that highlight each vendor’s success in the marketplace. This evaluation is based on a comprehensive framework and set of parameters expected to be most conducive to success in providing industrial DataOps platforms in both the short term and the long term.
According to the report, “Cognite Data Fusion supports all five of the key industrial DataOps capabilities assessed in this document under a single product. Cognite Data Fusion is white labelled by other software providers and is supported by an ecosystem of both technology and service providers. Differentiating the offering are Cognite’s primary dedication to industrial DataOps processes, downstream AI capabilities through Cognite Atlas AI, strong ecosystem relationships, and the extension and simplification of DataOps processes with automation and AI functionality.”
“As the total volumes of operational data have increased and organizations fall under increasing pressure to utilize this data for advanced analytics and AI initiatives, they are really struggling from a technical perspective,” said Jonathan Lang, Research Director, Worldwide IT/OT Convergence Strategies at IDC. “What I’ve seen over time is that companies that adopt agnostic, purpose-built platforms for building and managing the data foundation have been particularly successful in scaling up and out and getting real value from their operational data.”
“We believe being named a Leader by the IDC MarketScape underscores our unique approach to operationalizing industrial data and leveraging AI to drive quantifiable results for our customers,” said Girish Rishi, CEO of Cognite. “This recognition further motivates the entire Cognite team to build, deploy, and scale Industrial AI solutions capable of delivering $100B in customer value by 2035.”
This research evaluated vendors in the global industrial DataOps platform market. The scope of this analysis included data ingestion, data quality management, data standardization, data transformation and data pipeline building, covering both current capabilities and future strategies across hybrid and multi-cloud delivery models.
