IDC Survey: Enterprise IoT Adoption in Canada, 2026 — Insights from IDC’s 4Q25 Canada IT Decision-Makers Survey

Nigel Wallis — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Survey aims to help Canadian technology vendors and end-user leaders with their strategic planning for enterprise IoT decision-making by outlining the current state of adoption. This presentation:

Examines the adoption status of IoT solutions among Canadian organizations of all sizes, located in all regions and from multiple industries
Encourages Canadian organizations, both private and public sector, to benchmark their maturity against their local industry peer group.
Provides insights to the IoT vendor ecosystem to help enterprises better understand the relative maturity by use case, industry, and organization size, thereby enabling more precise marketing, partnering, communications and sales.

“IoT has moved from pilot to default infrastructure in Canada, with 92% of organizations now running deployments in production and 83% of enterprises planning further investment. However, 31% of completed initiatives still fail to meet expectations,” said Nigel Wallis, research VP, IDC Insights. “Adoption is no longer a competitive differentiator; the dividing line between winners and laggards has shifted to delivery discipline. Suppliers that cannot de-risk implementation and buyers that do not fix governance before scaling will lose ground even as overall demand keeps climbing”.
