Evaluating JPA providers: Market share of Hibernate/EclipseLink?

I'm struggling to find some data as to the (estimated) number of installations/user base/market share of Hibernate and/or EclipseLink.

This information would help in interpreting numbers like '# of bug reports opened' or '# of S/O questions' per product, but it seems that's not as readily available as I would expect.

Can anyone point me to some resources in this regard?

  • According to RebelLabs 2014 java tools and technologies report, Hibernate was having a 67.5% market share, meaning that all other providers combined share less than 1/3 of the whole market.

    The 2014 Data Access frameworks market share is:

    • Hibernate : 67.5%
    • Plain JDBC : 22%
    • JDBC Template : 19.5%
    • EclipseLink : 13%
    • MyBatis : 6.5%
    • JOOQ : 1.5%
    • Other : 7%

    In a 2016 survey, the following results have been obtained:

    • Hibernate : 72%
    • EclipseLink : 13%
    • OpenJPA : 2%
