What is a data marketplace?

A data marketplace is an online platform that connects both data providers and data buyers and helps them to facilitate the exchange of data and payments.

A data marketplace is an online platform where organizations can buy, sell, or exchange data by listing datasets for commercial use. These platforms do not directly transfer the underlying data; instead, they provide listings that describe the available data, which remains stored and managed by the data provider.

Data marketplaces facilitate secure transactions, offering businesses a way to monetize their data or access external datasets for analytics and decision-making.

Prominent data marketplaces include Datarade, Snowflake Marketplace, Databricks Marketplace, and Google Cloud Analytics Hub, which support a wide range of industries and data types.
