In late 2025, Wasabi commissioned primary market research to better understand cloud storage market trends and dynamics. This Executive Summary provides a high-level overview of the results that IT decision makers should care about and apply to their organization’s cloud storage strategy.
2026 marks the fourth consecutive year for the Wasabi Cloud Storage Index. This year, Vanson Bourne surveyed 1,700 IT decision makers around the world, including 171 respondents in the healthcare sector. Respondents chosen to participate in the survey had to be involved in their organization’s cloud storage purchase process. Respondents were asked questions covering a range of topics, including their organization’s purchasing preferences for cloud storage, key budgetary and usage challenges, billing segmentations and impact of various fee structures, expectations for data security and compliance, and how organizations are leveraging cloud object storage for AI use cases.
The findings from our survey are designed to be representative of the public cloud storage market in healthcare as a whole and provide IT decision makers with reliable data points to help guide their strategic initiatives and understanding of market dynamics.
