Signal 50 percent expect top-stage maturity by end 2026 against 11 percent today

Summary

KPMG's survey shows organizations anticipating a steep climb in technology maturity during 2026. Averaged across ten technologies, half of respondents expect to hold the top maturity stage by the end of that year, although only 11 percent place themselves there now. When asked about their position twelve months ahead, the share expecting to be in one of the top three stages rises to 93 percent. The jump is even sharper for the top two stages, which grow from 47 percent today to an expected 83 percent. The report welcomes this optimism but questions whether such gains can actually be delivered in so short a period.
