8. Australia & New Zealand
8.1 Australia
Ranking basis: Roy Morgan shopper counts (the most comparable cross-platform metric: Amazon/Temu each added about 1 million shoppers, Shein added 500,000, through Sep 2025) + locally filed revenue (Amazon A$7.7B, Kogan A$931M). Catch (Wesfarmers, shut Jan 2025) and MyDeal (Woolworths) are already out. Australia 2025 online spend A$82.6B (+14%, AusPost).
| Rank | Platform | Company | Key data | Positioning & strengths |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Amazon AU | Amazon | 2024 local revenue A$7.7B (ecommerce +23%, Prime subscriptions +39%); annual add about A$1B | Fastest-growing large platform; marketplace+1P+FBA+Prime; about 1 million new shoppers |
| 2 | Temu | PDD Holdings | Annual add about 1 million shoppers (through Sep 2025, Roy Morgan) | Ultra-low-price cross-border + heavy advertising; squeezing local retail (partly blamed for Catch’s shutdown) |
| 3 | eBay AU | eBay | Veteran #2 marketplace; no new 2024–25 data ⚠️ | C2C/second-hand/auto parts/collectibles |
| 4 | Kogan.com | Kogan.com | FY2025 revenue about A$931M (⚠️ a Chinese source mislabeled the currency as "€931 million"; it is AUD) | Australia’s largest listed pure-play online retailer (electronics/appliances/private label); marketplace+1P hybrid |
| 5 | Shein | Shein Group | Annual add 500,000+ shoppers (Roy Morgan) | Ultra-fast-fashion cross-border; app-first; strong Gen Z penetration |
2025 developments: Catch (Wesfarmers shutdown, about A$230 million invested) and MyDeal (Woolworths) exited; Amazon/Temu/Shein dominate growth and domestic retailers lose share; TikTok Shop had not launched in Australia as of mid-2025 (in preparation).
8.2 New Zealand
- Trade Me remains New Zealand’s largest marketplace (parent took a NZ$138 million impairment in 2025 as sales and growth slowed); 82% of New Zealanders shop online (IAB NZ 2025).
- Amazon, Temu, and Shein are likewise "tightening their grip on the ANZ marketplace"; New Zealand platform revenue data is missing (Trade Me/Amazon NZ revenue not captured — recommend supplementing with Euromonitor/Statista research).
