Information Technology (IT) Governance and Strategy Market
Dublin, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Information Technology (IT) Governance and Strategy Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global information technology (IT) governance and strategy market continues to record strong growth as organizations seek greater alignment between technology investments, business objectives, regulatory obligations and enterprise risk management. The market is projected to increase from $47.64 billion in 2025 to $50.15 billion in 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%.
Historic market expansion has been supported by increasingly complex enterprise IT environments, rising regulatory compliance requirements and the continued development of global technology infrastructure. Heightened cybersecurity threats and growing pressure to optimize IT operating costs have also encouraged organizations to implement more structured governance frameworks and strategic technology planning processes.
The information technology governance and strategy market is forecast to reach $62.14 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2026. Growth during the forecast period is expected to be driven by the adoption of hybrid IT environments, stronger emphasis on realizing measurable value from technology investments and wider implementation of digital governance frameworks. Digital transformation initiatives among small and medium-sized enterprises, along with evolving enterprise risk management practices, are also expected to create new market opportunities.
Prominent IT governance and strategy market trends include closer business-IT alignment, greater demand for enterprise-wide governance frameworks and increased focus on regulatory compliance and audit readiness. Organizations are also expanding IT portfolio optimization programs and adopting performance measurement systems that use key performance indicators to evaluate technology outcomes, operational efficiency and strategic value.
Accelerating digital transformation is a major factor supporting market growth. Rapid cloud migration and expanding edge computing workloads are increasing demand for scalable, resilient and low-latency technology infrastructures. Effective IT governance helps organizations connect these investments to strategic priorities while supporting agile planning, informed decision-making and improved accountability.
According to Eurostat data published in August 2024, 59% of European Union enterprises achieved at least a basic level of digital intensity in 2023. The proportion was 58% among small and medium-sized enterprises and 91% among large enterprises. More than 90% of EU SMEs are projected to reach at least a basic level of digital intensity by 2030, reinforcing the long-term need for technology governance, strategic planning and risk oversight.
Innovation in artificial intelligence governance is also reshaping the competitive landscape. Market participants are introducing platforms that help organizations inventory AI models, assess risk against global frameworks and continuously monitor performance for bias, accuracy and compliance. In May 2023, OneTrust launched OneTrust Artificial Intelligence Governance, combining data discovery, automated classification and regulatory intelligence with centralized governance workflows. The platform is intended to improve transparency, accountability and compliance across enterprise AI deployments.
Merger and acquisition activity is further strengthening technology strategy and advisory capabilities. In August 2025, Accenture acquired Maryville Consulting Group for an undisclosed amount. The transaction is intended to improve the alignment of technology investments with business outcomes while supporting stronger operational and financial performance. Maryville Consulting Group specializes in IT governance, technology strategy and value-driven transformation services.
