As a former FedEx delivery driver, you would be shocked at how much we deliver.

4th biggest e-commerce company in the US and the founder sold it to invest in and become chairman of GameStop. Really makes you think. 🧐

Yeah he made massive mistake, that’s reflected in the massive losses incurred since his new role began.
Why would you leave a growing e-commerce company to join a soon to be bankrupt jpeg shop. Oh right, it’s so he can loot it and extract what little cash is left from the retail gamblers. Which is exactly what’s happened

Chewy is the BEST. They're reliable, have a good subscription set up, quick delivery, and they're also just a good company. I wish they did more than pet stuff

They’re super convenient. When my cat was still alive, I had his food (which was sometimes hard to find in stores) on autoship every few weeks. Never had to worry about not finding it. I imagine a lot of people are also getting things like food and treats autoshipped as well.

This list should probably have Walmart on it. They actually have more retail revenue than Amazon — about $570b — but only about $60b is e-commerce.
Also, looks like Amazons revenue is including AWS, which isn’t really e-commerce.

This list is depressing, I always thought eBay was atleast second to Amazon, I can’t believe wayfair is higher 🫢
Rin-Tohsaka-is-hot t1_iwyhgam wrote
eBay is closer to Amazon than this graphic makes it seem. The Amazon revenue is bloated by AWS and other services the company does, while eBay's is pretty much purely e-commerce.
animatedb t1_ix21zfv wrote
I think AWS revenue is only about 15%. Profit is higher. I don't know about other services.

eBay used to be so good, and you can still find cool stuff there, but it's mostly flooded with Chinese junk that people are, "drop shipping," from aliexpress or alibaba. eBay is also well known for it's terrible management.
These days, I think people categorize eBay as more similar to a site like Craigslist than a site like Amazon. I know I do, although that definitely doesn't stop me from using it.

You just described Amazon tho

Same, thought target/Walmart would be higher than wayfair but maybe they own a lot of companies idk
DJMoShekkels t1_iwy0d13 wrote
They probably are, this looks like it’s not including any companies with brick and mortar stores
fafilum t1_ix1hwk1 wrote
I think you extrapolate the US market to the whole world.
Target does 100% of his business in the US, while Walmart does 80%.
Even if I know these companies, I've never seen any of these stores here in Europe. Do you guys know Carrefour or Tesco ?
In the other hand, Amazon, Alibaba, Rakuten or Ebay are truly operating worldwide (idk about the others asian majors, maybe they are but not in my country)

China did not ban Amazon. Amazon was outcompeted in Chinese market and closed its site last year if I remember it correctly. China did ban foreign social media but that’s CCP afraid of its people knowing too much

An almost monopoly in USA and a few other markets. Wonder why their competition doesn't step up the business model seems simple enough.
Ruma-park t1_iwwmlh5 wrote
Because you can't compete with them.
They subsidize their retail business through AWS which makes it impossible to compete on costs.
Their service is already impeccable, because again, they don't care about cost.
Their logistics infrastructure is second to none as they now have decades of experience, development and amortized costs.
It goes on and on and on. Basicly, outside of state subsidized companies like those in China, there is no way to compete with Amazon.
The only ones that could possibly try (and do) are established retailers such as WallMart but those have the disadvantage of old, retail strucures and processes.

Looks like China is better at this free market thing than the US, which let a huge monopoly to form.
[deleted] t1_iwwn42p wrote
You got the opposite. Endless merging till monopoly is exactly what free market leads to. Anti-trust is from the state.
Chris-1235 t1_iwwvd5s wrote
No mate, free markets are not unregulated markets. Only in the US has this distortion of the term taken place. Even here:
"Antitrust laws ensure competition in a free and open market economy, which is the foundation of any vibrant economy"
MoscaValorosa t1_iwxbjef wrote
Well, words have the meaning you want them to have. When liberals (in the classic non-american meaning) say they want an open free market what they really mean is a market unregulated enough for maximum capital reproduction and regulated enough so the goverment can help with some more profit. So usually that's what I mean by free market.
And if you are not joking, you are reproducing the schrodinger's socialism falacy: when something works in China it's because it's capitalist; when it fails it's because China's communist (neither are true. China's socialist). China not having a massive monopoly as Amazon is consequence of it's own historical development, which went in the opposit direction of the liberal economic canons, not because it succeded at implementing a capitalist vision of free market.
"which is the foundation of any vibrant economy": this was brought to you by the Washington Consensus gang.
amadozu t1_iwxjvei wrote
Calling Amazon a monopoly is frankly a bit daft. The graph is just a list of 'e-commerce companies' listed by global revenue (including all division of each business, e-commerce or not). Walmart for instance made $67 billion in direct e-commerce last year, but isn't listed because it's not explicitly an e-commerce business. The same is true of most major e-commerce players in the US (Target, Best Buy, Costco, etc).
For retail in general in 2021 (US-only):
- Walmart: $460b
- Amazon $220b
- Costco: $140b
- Home Depot: $140b
- Walgreens Boots: $110b
You have to go down to 47th before you reach less than $10 billion. The US retail market is comically huge, and e-commerce is a minority of it. Amazon is the largest player within that minority, but a tiny portion of US retail in general.

Shouldn't you maybe list Shopify store revenues, not Shopify the business' revenues?
Wilt_The_Stilt_ t1_iwyhhsn wrote
I was going to say the same. Shopify is not in the same category. But OP just pulled the list from some random websites list of publicly traded e-commerce companies. So Shopify is lumped in. But I think that only makes sense if your talking about the stock prices. OPs twist to make it about revenue adds confusion and should not include Shopify IMO

Not sure about that. Flipkart's entire market cap is less than $40b.

Not top. Their revenues are are around $5-5.5B

Flipkart’s FY22 revenue was ₹10000 crores, so less 1.5B dollars. Not even half of the smallest company on this list.
Random_citizen_ t1_iwzcrad wrote
Stats like these point to how overhyped Indian startups are. The largest Indian e-commerce company has a revenue of less than half the smallest company on this list after a decade of operations, but a valuation of $40bn dollars.

I thought the same thing but then I realized this chart is probably based on corporate revenue and most of Ebay’s sale price is probably pass-through and off-book by virtue of it being a marketplace and not really a reseller.
