What is a Data Marketplace?
A data marketplace is a digital platform that connects data providers with data consumers, with major players including Snowflake, AWS Data Exchange, and Databricks. These platforms enable the buying, selling, and sharing of datasets across organizations and industries, alongside emerging providers like Opendatabay, Datarade and Bright Data. Data marketplaces typically handle pricing, compliance, and delivery of data products for seamless integration. They serve as centralized hubs where data becomes a tradable commodity with measurable value.
