2026 STATE OF THE MARKET

Industrial DataOps & AI Readiness

Industrial DataOps has evolved significantly since HighByte and IndustryWeek first studied the market in 2023. As manufacturers continue their digital transformation journeys, awareness and adoption of Industrial DataOps have grown, and AI has moved from experimentation to real-world deployment. Organizations are looking to scale these initiatives across the enterprise, but challenges around data quality, governance, skilled talent, and IT/OT alignment continue to slow progress. 

This report, produced in collaboration with IndustryWeek, shares new research from 156 industrial professionals and compares findings with the 2023 study to show how the market has evolved. It also highlights an interesting gap between executives and managers, with executives generally more confident in their organization’s data maturity, DataOps adoption, and AI readiness.
