#  2026 LunarG Vulkan Ecosystem Survey Results Released 

  March 27th at 5:27pm

 LunarG has shared the results of their 2026 LunarG Vulkan Ecosystem Survey— the annual check-in with the Vulkan developer community. With 360 respondents (a nearly 30% increase from 279 in 2025), the survey captured valuable insights from both commercial developers (49%) and those self-studying or working in academic settings (51%).The feedback comes from an experienced group: 71% of respondents identified as regular, advanced, or expert Vulkan developers (similar to the 72% in 2025), with commercial users skewing even more toward advanced/expert levels. This experienced perspective helps guide priorities for the Vulkan SDK, validation layers, tools, and broader ecosystem improvements.
