The first report card of the domestic AI programming market is released! Nearly 50% of revenue flows to Alibaba. What did Qoder do right?

Smart Things Author | Chen Junda Editor | Mo Ying The popularity of the domestic AI programming track is obvious to all. In more than a year, large model manufacturers have intensively launched AI programming products, and startups have also entered this emerging market. Alibaba, Byte, Tencent, Baidu, Zhipu, Dark Side of the Moon and other companies have successively invested in the field of AI programming, and a large number of products have emerged rapidly. At the same time, the competitive dimensions of AI programming are constantly enriched. Model capabilities are only the foundation. Development experience, scenario coverage, user scale, and enterprise implementation capabilities are becoming important indicators for measuring product competitiveness. However, for a long time, the outside world has lacked authoritative data reference for the true share and leading players of the domestic AI programming market. Which products are really recognized by developers and enterprises? Who was the first to implement large-scale applications? Recently, the latest "China AI Programming Market Share, 2025" released by the internationally renowned market research organization IDC provides the first answer to this market. The report shows that Alibaba Qoder ranks first in revenue share with a market share of 47.6%, accounting for half of the domestic AI programming market, and more than the combined market share of the second to fifth places. At the same time, the number of users of all Qoder products has exceeded 5 million, making it the most popular AI programming tool in China. In June this year, market research organization Gartner released the "Magic Quadrant for Enterprise-level AI Code Agents 2026" report. Only 12 companies around the world were shortlisted. With Qoder, Alibaba Cloud has entered the "Challenger" quadrant for three consecutive years and is the only Chinese company to enter this quadrant. Why Qoder? What kind of industry changes do these report cards reflect? 1. Entering the era of Agent ic programming, Qoder has stepped on the direction of evolution. For many developers, Qoder taking the first place in the market is not a surprising result. On social media platforms, developers’ discussions about Qoder are quite popular. Some netizens shared their experience after migrating from OpenAI products to Qoder, saying that Qoder can already win.
