The data movement as a service market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $4.6 billion in 2025 to $5.62 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rapid growth of enterprise data volumes, increasing adoption of cloud storage platforms, need for centralized backup and recovery, rising demand for data integration, expansion of distributed IT environments.
The data movement as a service market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.4 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing need for cross-cloud data synchronization, demand for low-latency data access for analytics, growing adoption of managed data services, higher focus on data governance and lineage, expansion of edge-to-cloud data mobility. Major trends in the forecast period include real-time data replication across environments, managed data movement for multi-cloud workloads, automated data orchestration and workflow scheduling, high-performance data transfer for analytics pipelines, unified monitoring and optimization for data flows.
The growing adoption of hybrid cloud strategies is expected to drive the growth of the data movement as a service market going forward. Hybrid cloud strategies refer to the integration of public and private cloud environments with on-premises infrastructure, enabling organizations to run workloads and manage applications flexibly, securely, and cost-effectively. The increasing adoption of hybrid cloud strategies is driven by scalability, as it allows businesses to easily adjust computing resources according to demand and minimize infrastructure costs. Data movement as a service supports hybrid cloud adoption by enabling seamless and secure data transfer across on-premises and cloud environments, making it suitable for organizations managing multi-cloud infrastructures. It reduces operational complexity by automating data workflows and ensuring efficient, reliable data movement, thereby enhancing overall IT agility and scalability. For instance, in December 2023, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government organization, 45.2% of enterprises across the European Union purchased cloud computing services, with 77.6% of large enterprises, 59% of medium-sized enterprises, and 41.7% of small businesses adopting cloud services. Therefore, the growing adoption of hybrid cloud strategies is driving the growth of the data movement as a service market.
Key companies operating in the data movement as a service market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as AI-optimized large-scale data transfer, to enhance speed, security, and efficiency in handling large enterprise datasets. AI-optimized large-scale data transfer refers to the use of artificial intelligence to efficiently and securely move vast amounts of data across distributed systems and cloud environments. For instance, in October 2025, Riverbed Technology, a US-based information technology company, introduced Data Express Service, designed to transfer petabyte-scale datasets up to 10 times faster than traditional methods. It is a fully managed, high-performance solution for large-scale AI data transfer, featuring patented acceleration technology that prevents bottlenecks and data loss, significantly reducing the risk of project delays. It includes automated data orchestration and integrated security capabilities, enabling seamless and secure data transfers for AI training and analytics across global networks without continuous operator involvement.
In May 2025, Salesforce Inc., a US-based cloud-based software and enterprise cloud computing company, acquired Informatica Inc. for $8 billion. Through this acquisition, Salesforce aims to strengthen its artificial intelligence and data management capabilities by integrating Informatica’s cloud-based data movement, integration, and governance services into its enterprise platform. Informatica Inc. is a US-based cloud data management company that provides data movement as a service through data integration, migration, and real-time synchronization across on-premises and cloud environments.

Tariffs have introduced cost increases and procurement uncertainty in the data movement as a service market by raising the price of imported networking hardware, storage infrastructure components, and specialized data transfer appliances used to support high-throughput data mobility. These pressures are most significant for private cloud and hybrid cloud deployments where organizations still depend on physical infrastructure upgrades to enable replication, synchronization, and large-scale migration. North America and Asia-Pacific regions are among the most affected due to high demand for cross-border data infrastructure and reliance on globally sourced connectivity and storage equipment. Tariffs also contribute to longer deployment cycles by limiting availability of high-performance components and increasing vendor lead times for enterprise-grade hardware. However, tariffs are also accelerating a shift toward software-defined data movement, greater use of public cloud services, and managed offerings that reduce dependence on imported physical infrastructure. Providers are improving compression, deduplication, and orchestration to lower bandwidth and hardware requirements while maintaining performance. Over time, this is supporting more resilient supply chains and encouraging innovation in cost-effective data movement platforms for global enterprises.
