[IT Note] Amazon: e-commerce Top1 in US
What are top 10 ecommerce companies in US?
Absolutely, Amazon is strong 1 and weak 9, and even there are significant improvement from Walmart, Best Buy & Target, but I think that Amazon will have kept number 1 position over next 10 years due to continuous growth rate.
As of 2021, here are the top 10 ecommerce companies in the US by revenue:
- Amazon
- Walmart
- Apple
- Home Depot
- Best Buy
- Macy's
- Target
- Costco
- Wayfair
- Kohl's
It's worth noting that these rankings can vary depending on the source and the specific criteria used. Nonetheless, Amazon has consistently been ranked as the largest ecommerce company in the US, with a significant lead over its competitors. However, as you mentioned, other companies like Walmart, Best Buy, and Target have been making strides in the ecommerce space and could potentially pose a challenge to Amazon's dominance in the future.
How much strong logistics in US are from Amazon?
Currently, Amazon have 187 fulfillment centers and 77.6m customer coverage for free same-day delivery.
It looks empty in mid-west, but Amazon seems to expand their logistics based on the population map.
Amazon's logistics network is one of the largest in the United States, and the company has been rapidly expanding its logistics infrastructure in recent years to support its growing e-commerce business. As of September 2021, Amazon operates 596 facilities in the US, including fulfillment centers, sortation centers, delivery stations, and other types of facilities.
Amazon's logistics network covers a significant portion of the US population, with the company offering free same-day or next-day delivery to Prime members in over 5,000 cities and towns across the country. In terms of customer coverage, Amazon's logistics network reaches an estimated 95% of the US population, according to a report by Rakuten Intelligence.
While Amazon's logistics network is extensive, it's worth noting that there are other major players in the logistics industry in the US, including UPS, FedEx, and the USPS. These companies also have significant logistics infrastructure and play a crucial role in supporting e-commerce businesses and delivering packages to consumers.
