Jay McBain

Chief Analyst - Channels, Partnerships & Ecosystems

Start at 9 am PT

Partner Opportunities & Trends in Cloud Marketplaces and AI

Jay McBain, Chief Analyst at Omdia has been the most accurate voice on cloud marketplaces. Three years ago, his team forecasted hyperscaler marketplaces would reach $85B by 2028.

Not only it’s on track, but he expects marketplaces to reach $163 billion by 2030 with 59% of marketplace deals include or be led by channel partners. For Google Cloud partners the math is compelling: for every $1 of GCP services sold, there's $7 in partner multiplier to capture. Jay also stressed that Agentic AI is on track to $267B opportunity for partners by 2030. It is growing at 35% CAGR, “making it one of the largest partner opportunities”. In our last event he explained that: “Agentic AI is starting to look like micro-consumption, a $1 or $2per thing… The only way it’s going to work is through marketplaces … because you’re selling outcomes.”

  • Commitments from Google’s top 15 software partners increased 16X+ YoY

Customer adoption is impressive

  • New customer velocity doubled in Q4 vs Q1
