Veeam Ranked the #1 Data Protection Software in Market Share Worldwide for 2H 2025

Veeam continues to increase its market share amongst the top 5, as data resilience and data security become critical for accelerating safe AI at scale

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Veeam^® Software, the Data and AI Trust Company, has been ranked #1 for worldwide data protection software market share by IDC in its latest IDC Semiannual Software Tracker, 2025H2. The tracker reports that Veeam captured 13.6% market share in 2025H2, increasing from 13.2% in 2025H1. IDC also reports that Veeam delivered 11.5% sequential growth in 2025H2, outpacing the market average of 8.8%.

"Market share is the verdict on how well we achieved the things customers and partners care about, namely, can we get them back to business when something goes wrong," said Anand Eswaran, CEO at Veeam. "We've been singularly obsessed with precision recovery for when ransomware hits, when a model drifts, when an agent goes rogue, when a region goes dark. Now the ground is shifting. With AI, the perimeter is gone; policy and identity now travel with the data itself. AI moves faster than the data feeding it, which may not be secure or trustworthy. Customers need a unified platform across data security, governance, and resilience. And because we already protect more of the world's data than anyone else, we're not just part of what comes next; we're defining it."

Veeam’s unified data platform for the agentic enterprise is powered by the Data Command Graph. The Data Command Graph is the only contextual engine that continuously maps relationships across structured and unstructured data, identities, access, policies, and AI systems — across both production and backup environments. It operates with unmatched breadth across domains, depth at file and data-element levels, and scales across millions of files and billions of data points with best-in-class classification accuracy.

It also enables something entirely new for our category: precision resilience. When an AI agent makes an unintended change, the platform understands exactly what changed, where it changed, and what data was involved, allowing organizations to reverse that specific action, without the need to recover entire systems.

With Veeam, customers can detect and remediate threats faster and with less effort — enabling safe, rapid AI adoption. Security becomes a business accelerator, not a constraint. Veeam moves organizations beyond simply protecting data, empowering them to activate and unlock its full potential. That is the trusted data platform for the agentic enterprise.

Veeam will expand on these themes at VeeamON 2026, Veeam’s flagship one-day event focused on data, security, and resilience in the age of AI, where practitioners and leaders will get clear guidance on securing AI-driven systems, designing resilience into modern architectures, and operating with confidence as autonomous systems scale.
