About

Leading cloud-native data marketplace embedded within the world's largest cloud data platform, serving as a primary distribution channel for enterprise data products and AdTech identity solutions

Snowflake Marketplace is the data commerce layer built on top of Snowflake's cloud data platform, enabling companies to publish, discover, and access live data products, applications, and services without data movement or copying. Launched as part of Snowflake's broader Data Cloud vision, the Marketplace allows data providers to list datasets, enrichment products, and native apps that consumers can access directly within their own Snowflake environment. This architecture eliminates the traditional friction of data licensing — no ETL pipelines, no file transfers, just live query access to shared data.
