2022

DBMS market shrank by more than 50% over the year

In 2022, the market in the B2G and B2G + segments switched to Postgres Pro from Oracle solutions by ~ 85%, which was due to the lack of other quality-acceptable Russian products on the market and low consumer tolerance to reduce the efficiency of unsupported software. Due to the departure of foreign vendors in the Russian market, there was a high demand for the PostgreSQL DBMS management and monitoring platform, which is expected to continue until 2025.

Among the key parameters of the Russian DBMS market according to Strategy Partners:

• Largest Ecosystem Market;
• There is one strong competitor in the market (Postgres Pro) and many smaller competitors;
• Due to a significant market contraction in 2022 and a relatively slow recovery, the market growth rate for 2021-2030 is low;
• One of the most attractive software markets, the development and support of which the state pays more and more attention.

Import substitution of DBMS and data processing software in Russia reached 66%

The share of Russian companies in the market of DBMS and data processing tools in 2022 in monetary terms increased to 66%, while in 2021 Western vendors led the market. This is evidenced by the research data of the Center for Strategic Research Foundation.

In 2021, the share of Western vendors in money was 64%, and the market volume was estimated at 72 billion rubles. At the end of 2022, it decreased to 56 billion, but most of the sales were already domestic products. As CSR analysts predict, the accelerated development of the DBMS market and data processing tools will occur in 2024-2025. By 2027, its total volume will amount to 170 billion rubles, and the share of Russian vendors will increase to 98%.

Detailed review of the study

Postgres Professional took the lead in the overall standings and several categories. The complete list of leaders in the domestic market looks like this:

# Postgres Professional; # Arenadata;

1. "Red Software";
2. "Gazinformservice";
3. [[DIS Group - DIS Group - Date Integration Software - Data Integration Software 'DIS Group;
4. HFLabs]];
5. "Rockitsoft";
6. "Taskdata rus";
7. "First Bit";

# Datareon;

1. SDI Solutions.

Separately, the study mentions the companies Yandex.Cloud"," Sberbank Russia"," "VK Digital Technologies" and Rostelecom"."

The largest market share is occupied directly by DBMS, services are in second place, and data management tools are in third place. In terms of sales of Russian data management systems, the largest share is in general-purpose DBMS (47.8%), and the smallest shares are in documentary and multimodel databases.

The most popular service is technical support and updates (50%), followed by consulting (29%), training (11%) and custom revision (9%).

Among the industries for storage solutions, the financial sector, trade, telecom and IT companies have the highest costs.

In addition, the study gives a forecast for 2023. According to the Center for Strategic Research, the main driving element in the market will be the migration of companies from Western DBMS solutions to domestic ones. The market will develop due to the general informatization of the economy, as well as cooperation with developers from neutral and friendly states. The main negative factor will be the general decline in the economy.^[1]

State-owned companies began to spend half as much on the purchase of DBMS

Postgres Professional On February 17, 2023, the company shared the results of a comparative analysis state procurements DBMS and supporting services (certificates for technical support, administration, migration) Russia in 2021 and 2022. The study was carried out on the basis of open data of the EIS Public Procurement platform.

State-owned companies began to purchase domestic DBMS three times more often: if in 2021 there were only about 60 contracts for domestic decisions, in 2022 there were already more than 200 of them. At the same time, the cost of Russian software solutions increased from 690 million to more than 2 billion rubles.

However, the total volume of purchases after the departure of Western vendors was noticeably inferior to the indicators of 2021, falling in value terms by 46%, from 5.4 to 2.9 billion rubles.

Until February 2022, Oracle solutions occupied the palm in the DBMS market. In 2021, state-owned companies signed 84 contracts for products and technical support of the developer with a total value of almost 4 billion rubles (84% of the value of all contracts where the purchased DBMS was indicated). The top five also included Postgres Pro, Tarantool, Microsoft and Arenadata.

In 2022, the situation changed significantly - 89% of all contracts in value terms (91 contracts with a total value of 1.9 billion rubles) fell on the Postgres Pro DBMS. The top five also included Arenadata, Oracle, Red Database and Microsoft SQL.

According to the results of two years, Postgres Pro DBMS took second place after Oracle in terms of the total value of all contracts and contracts. In addition, as evidenced by the financial results of Postgres Professional for 2021 and 2022, a significant part of government contracts without specifying DBMS also fell on the company's decisions.

2019: A redistribution awaits the database market. 70% of large corporations and government agencies intend to replace DBMS

A survey by TAdviser found that 70% of big business and public sector organisations intend to migrate from the database management solutions used to alternative systems. Read more here.

2017: Import substitution of DBMS and OS did not occur in the public sector. TAdviser study

Numerous words about import substitution in information technologies, sounding from the lips of senior officials, have not yet led to significant changes in the IT infrastructure of federal authorities in favor of domestic products. This conclusion follows from the analysis of the basic software underlying 339 federal state information systems (FSIS).

Market shares of various DBMS developers in Russia

The DBMS market in Russia is mostly developed by VNIINS. Two systems that are designed for the armed forces are built into their own operating systems. The Pallas system is a protected object-oriented DBMS designed for mobile-based ACS of the armed forces. Pallada operates in MSVS and OLIVIA operating environments. Another DBMS, Linter-VS, is relational DBMSs for the aircraft ACS. This system only works in the MSBC environment.

The most commercialized in Russia today is DBMS Linter, developed by RELEX. The system is supplied for various platforms, including WIN32 (including Windows CE), NetWare, various versions of UNIX, OS9/9000, QNX, VxWorks. LINTER also supports many hardware platforms such as Intel, Sparc, MIPS, Alpha, VAX, ARM, SHx. The developers made a special emphasis on data security, the ease of transferring the system to another OS. However, domestic products are not very popular on the Russian DBMS market. Although, according to many analysts, this phenomenon is temporary, and due to the overall savings on all business processes, it is highly likely that Russian companies will support DBMS from "our" manufacturer.
