Akeneo named a leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant

Akeneo, the Product Experience (PX) leader, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Product Information Management Solutions for its Akeneo Product Cloud. The evaluation was based on specific criteria that analyzed the company’s overall Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute.

For Akeneo, this recognition comes at a pivotal moment for commerce. Organizations are managing more products, markets, channels, and customer touchpoints than ever before. At the same time, AI-powered and agentic discovery is changing how products are found and evaluated. Trusted, enriched, and actionable product information is essential to delivering relevant experiences at scale.

Akeneo Product Cloud gives brands, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers a unified foundation to orchestrate, enrich, activate, and optimize their product data. It brings together Product Information Management (PIM), supplier data onboarding, digital asset management (DAM), product activation, and product experience intelligence with AI-powered capabilities that help organizations simplify complexity, accelerate time to market, improve operational efficiency, and deliver compelling product experiences across channels.

“We believe being named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Product Information Management Solutions reflects the progress Akeneo has made in helping complex organizations turn product data into measurable business value,” said Romain Fouache, CEO at Akeneo. “Commerce is entering a new phase. Consumers are discovering products across more channels, and AI agents are beginning to influence how products are found, evaluated, and purchased. That vision is ours alone; it’s shared by more than 1,100 of our customers and prospects already leading this shift, and we are delighted to accompany them. Companies need product data that is trusted, governed, contextualized, and ready to perform everywhere. Akeneo gives them that foundation, along with the intelligence and activation capabilities to put it to work.”

This shift is why Akeneo believes PIM is evolving from a system for managing product data into a strategic enterprise capability. Enterprises need to orchestrate product data while adapting and activating it across markets, channels, audiences, and emerging AI interfaces.
