Veeam Software has been ranked the number one data protection software provider worldwide by market share, according to the latest IDC Semiannual Software Tracker for 2H 2025. The ranking reinforces Veeam’s accelerating momentum as organizations increasingly prioritize data resilience and data security to enable safe artificial intelligence adoption at scale.
IDC’s report shows Veeam capturing 13.6% global market share in the second half of 2025, up from 13.2% in the first half of the year. The company also achieved 11.5% sequential growth, significantly outperforming the overall market average of 8.8%. Among the top five vendors in the category, Veeam continued to expand its lead as enterprises modernize their data protection strategies to meet the realities of an AI-driven, cloud-first world.
“Market share is the verdict on how well we delivered what customers and partners care about most getting them back to business when something goes wrong,” said Anand Eswaran, CEO of Veeam. “With AI, the perimeter is gone. Policy and identity now travel with the data itself, and customers need a unified platform that brings data security, governance, and resilience together.”
“Market share is the verdict on whether we can get customers back to business when something goes wrong and that mission has never been more critical than it is today.”

At the center of Veeam’s strategy is its unified data platform for the agentic enterprise, powered by the Data Command Graph. This contextual intelligence engine continuously maps relationships across structured and unstructured data, identities, access rights, policies, and AI systems spanning both production and backup environments. By operating at file- and data-element depth and at massive scale, the platform enables precise, informed action during incidents.
The technology unlocks what Veeam calls “precision resilience.” When an AI agent, workload, or user makes an unintended or malicious change, organizations can identify exactly what was altered and roll back only the impacted data without restoring entire systems. This targeted recovery capability reduces downtime, limits risk exposure, and keeps AI-driven operations moving safely and efficiently.
As enterprises race to deploy autonomous systems, Veeam positions security as a business accelerator rather than a barrier. By combining resilience, governance, and trust into a single platform, the company helps customers move beyond simply protecting data to actively activating its value.
These themes will take center stage at VeeamON 2026, the company’s flagship global event focused on data, security, and resilience in the age of AI, with stops in New York, London, and Sydney later this year.
