The increasing adoption of cloud-based services is expected to drive the growth of the ODBC market. Cloud-based services, which deliver computing services over the internet from remote servers, are becoming more prevalent as they offer a convenient and secure way to access work data and applications, especially with the rise of remote work. ODBC plays a crucial role in cloud-based services by enabling applications to connect to and interact with databases hosted in the cloud. This allows applications to take advantage of cloud computing benefits while maintaining a standardized and widely supported interface for databases. For example, a survey conducted by AAG IT Support Service, a US-based digital transformation service provider, revealed that around 63% of respondents reported heavy usage of cloud services in 2022, compared to 59% in 2021 and 53% in 2020. This trend underscores the increasing adoption of cloud-based services, which is driving the growth of the ODBC market.

Major companies in the ODBC market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as open-source ODBC drivers, to meet the increasing demand for ODBC. These drivers act as a translator between applications and database management systems (DBMS), converting requests into commands that the DBMS can understand and vice versa. For example, Amazon Web Services Inc., a US-based cloud service solutions company, launched an open-source ODBC driver in August 2023. This driver provides a structured query language (SQL)-relational interface for developers and enables connectivity from various business intelligence (BI) tools. It allows applications such as Excel, PowerBI, and JMP to integrate seamlessly with Timestream's query engine, facilitating the analysis of large amounts of time-series data. The driver also comes with detailed documentation for setting up access, installing the driver, configuring data source names, and connecting through a proxy.

In February 2023, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), a US-based information technology company, acquired StepZen for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is expected to benefit enterprises operating in hybrid cloud environments by enabling them to extract more value from their data and APIs. StepZen Inc., the acquired company, is a US-based software development platform that offers a data virtualization platform capable of accessing data from various sources, including ODBC data sources.

The ODBC market consists of revenues earned by entities by services such as standard interfaces, interoperability, driver management, error handling, cursor support, transaction management, and connection management. The market value includes the value of related goods sold by the service provider or included within the service offering. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included. The ODBC market also includes sales of computers, storage devices, and network hardware. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD, unless otherwise specified).

ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is a standardized application programming interface (API) that enables communication between various database management systems (DBMS) and software applications. It acts as a bridge, facilitating seamless interaction and data exchange between different databases, regardless of the underlying DBMS.

ODBC supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and others. Windows, developed by Microsoft, is an operating system that enables users to perform a variety of tasks on their computers, such as browsing the internet, checking email, editing digital content, and using productivity tools. ODBC is deployed in various environments, including cloud and on-premises. It is used in applications such as marketing and collaboration, big data and NoSQL databases, customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, file and application programming interfaces (APIs), accounting software, e-commerce platforms, and relational database management systems (RDBMS). ODBC is utilized by a diverse range of industries, including manufacturing, banking, financial services, insurance, government agencies, information technology and telecommunications companies, electronics manufacturers, healthcare providers, automotive manufacturers, and others.
