The next-generation, open-source industry classification system designed for the modern economy— from traditional sectors to digital assets and decentralized platforms.
The Dynamic Multi-Dimensional Classification Standard (DMCS) is a revolutionary, open-source framework for categorizing economic entities across traditional and digital economies. Unlike legacy systems, DMCS embraces the complexity of modern business models with multi-dimensional classifications that reflect how companies actually operate today.
Built from the ground up to include 13 industries, 55 sectors, 193 subsectors, and 34 segments, DMCS provides unprecedented granularity while remaining intuitive and accessible.
No licensing fees. No paywalls. DMCS is free for everyone—from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Built and maintained by a global community of contributors.
Assign primary AND secondary classifications to reflect diverse business models (e.g., Amazon = Retail + Cloud).
First classification system with a dedicated Digital & Onchain Economy industry (DIC) for crypto, DeFi, blockchain infrastructure, and Web3.
Built for AI platforms, fintech, spatial computing, and emerging technologies that legacy systems ignore.
