The Robust Competition category of the Domain Name Marketplace Indicators (DNMI) tracks whether the domain name marketplace provides registrants with meaningful choice, including the ability to register domain names across languages and whether the marketplace remains open to new service providers.
Robust Competition comprises three dimensions:
The following indicators are actively updated on an annual basis.
* Tracking by distinct registry operators rather than TLDs captures an organizational rather than a technical measure of market participation.
The following indicators were part of the original Version 1.0 schema but are no longer actively maintained. Historical data remains available for reference.

Robust Competition comprises three dimensions:
- Registrant Choice (RC1): Examines whether registrants can register domain names across languages using internationalized domain name (IDN) generic top-level domains (gTLDs).
- Registrant Domain Adoption (RC2): Tracks overall registrant demand for domain names across top-level domain (TLD) categories.
- Service Provider Ecosystem (RC3): Measures the openness of the TLD marketplace to new and existing registry operators, registrars, and back-end technology service providers.
The following indicators are actively updated on an annual basis.
ID | Dataset Name | Dataset File |
|---|---|---|
RC 1b.4 | Number and Percentage of distinct gTLD registrar entities with IDN gTLD domain registrations (by script) | RC_1b-4.csv |
RC 2.1 | Number of domains (by TLD category) | RC_2-1.csv |
RC 2.2 | Net change in number of domains (by TLD category) | RC_2-2.csv |
RC 2.3 | Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of number of domains (by TLD category) | RC_2-3.csv |
RC 2.4 | Domain name renewal to new registration ratio (by gTLD category) | RC_2-4.csv |
RC 3.1 | Number of distinct gTLD registry operator entities (Total and New)* | RC_3-1.csv |
RC 3.2 | Mean number of gTLD registries per distinct gTLD registry operator entity | RC_3-2.csv |
RC 3.3 | Number of distinct gTLD registrar entities (Total and New) | RC_3-3.csv |
RC 3.4 | Mean number of gTLD registrars per distinct gTLD registrar entity | RC_3-4.csv |
RC 3.5 | Number of distinct back-end technology service providers (Total and New) | RC_3-5.csv |
* Tracking by distinct registry operators rather than TLDs captures an organizational rather than a technical measure of market participation.
