#Mainframe Modernization Market Revenue Growth On Track For A 14.8% CAGR Through 2030#_x000D_
The mainframe modernization market has experienced significant expansion recently. It will grow from $18.12 billion in 2025 to $20.85 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%. The increase observed in past periods is largely due to factors like the escalating expenses of mainframe operations, a deficit of COBOL and mainframe professionals, the necessity for more rapid product innovation, the push to integrate with digital channels, and heightened regulatory compliance demands._x000D_
_x000D_
The mainframe modernization market is set for significant expansion in the coming years, with projections indicating it will reach $36.18 billion in 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate of 14.8%. This anticipated growth stems from several factors such as the rise of hybrid cloud mainframe strategies, the integration of automated modernization tools, increased utilization of containers and middleware, the escalating demand for real-time analytics on core data, and the broadening availability of managed modernization services. Key developments expected during this forecast period include mainframe to cloud migration programs, API enablement for core systems, automated code refactoring and conversion, hybrid mainframe integration architectures, and the adoption of modern DevOps practices for COBOL workloads._x000D_

#Mainframe Modernization Market Growth Backed By Core Demand Fundamentals#_x000D_
The rising integration of cloud-based solutions is expected to foster the expansion of the mainframe modernization market moving forward. Cloud-based solutions encompass computing resources such as infrastructure, platforms, and software, which are made available over the internet on demand and overseen by third-party providers. The shift towards these solutions is influenced by evolving multi-cloud strategies, which enhance system resilience and mitigate vendor lock-in. Mainframe modernization supports this driver by restructuring and application programming interface (API)-enabling existing workloads, allowing them to connect with cloud-native services and function within hybrid or multi-cloud architectures. For instance, in March 2024, Flexera, a US-based computer software company, noted a slight increase in multi-cloud usage, rising from 87% last year to 89% this year. Consequently, the increasing adoption of cloud-based solutions is a key driver for the mainframe modernization market._x000D_

#Mainframe Modernization Market Growth Trends Reshaping The Competitive Landscape#_x000D_
Major companies in the mainframe modernization market are concentrating on innovative product launches, such as artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled modernization services, to accelerate migrations and reduce risk. These artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled modernization services leverage generative-to-agentic artificial intelligence (AI) to automate analysis, code conversion, testing, and cutover planning across legacy mainframe estates. For instance, in June 2025, Kyndryl Inc., a US-based provider of information technology (IT) infrastructure services, introduced Mainframe Modernization Services, which utilize Amazon Web Services (AWS) agentic artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities (AWS Transform for Mainframe). This service accelerates the migration of applications and data off the mainframe, automates modernization tasks to minimize effort and errors, and offers advisory and implementation support to de-risk the cloud transition._x000D_
