The D-Tools 2026 Midyear Market Report shows the systems integration industry kept growing through the first six months of the year, with median installation sales up 14% versus the same period in 2025. But that headline number hides a widening gap: while roughly a third of integrators saw sales jump 51% or more, another third saw sales fall 21% or more — and the squeeze is hitting the upper-middle market hardest.
Unlike opinion-based industry surveys, this report is built entirely from real transaction data: signed contracts and proposals generated inside D-Tools Cloud by more than 1,500 active residential and commercial integration companies. Every figure reflects what integrators actually proposed, sold, ordered, and installed in the first half of 2026 not what they thought might have happened.
