Scope Five regions plus Asia-Pacific country/sub-region splits: North America, Europe, China, Japan & Korea, India, Southeast Asia, Australia/NZ, Latin America, Middle East & Africa — Top 5 ecommerce platforms in each
Metric definition GMV/revenue as the primary metrics, supplemented by market share, user counts, growth rates, and positioning; ranking basis is stated at the start of each region

Data caveats: Platform GMV/revenue definitions differ (GMV vs net revenue vs transaction value; whether services/cross-border are included; fiscal year vs calendar year; official disclosure vs third-party estimate). Every figure in this report is tagged with source and year; the ranking basis is stated at the start of each region. Source quality follows the audit standard (Grade A/B preferred; lower-quality sources are annotated).


1. Executive Summary

1.1 Regional Top 5 Snapshot

Region Top 5 platforms (by ecommerce standing) Features
North America Amazon / Shopify / Walmart / eBay / Temu Amazon dominates (~36%); Shopify is merchant infrastructure (~14%)

Middle East & Africa Noon / Amazon.ae-.sa / Jumia / Takealot / Trendyol Gulf duopoly; Jumia pan-Africa, Takealot South Africa first profit, Trendyol Turkey

1.2 Five Key Findings

  1. Amazon is the only platform in the Top 5 in 7+ regions (North America, Europe, Japan, India, Australia/NZ, Middle East, Latin America) — true global ecommerce infrastructure; but its regional share is being eroded by Chinese platforms (US 36%; Europe GMV is unmatched but Temu is rising).
  2. Chinese platforms going overseas form a second pole: Shopee (Sea), TikTok Shop (ByteDance), Temu (PDD), and Shein respectively dominate or disrupt Southeast Asia, the US/EU, Latin America, and the Middle East — "China-origin" platforms already hold about 46–50% of Southeast Asia platform GMV, about 41.5% in Brazil, and Temu+Shein about 40% in Mexico.
  3. Local leaders still occupy the top two in most regions: Rakuten (Japan), Coupang (Korea), Flipkart (India), Mercado Libre (LatAm), Noon (Middle East), Jumia/Takealot (Africa), Allegro (Central Europe), Zalando/Vinted (Europe) — the ecommerce landscape is "globalization + localization" at once, and local platforms are generally profitable or improving.
  4. TikTok Shop is the fastest-growing Top 5 player worldwide: global GMV about $64B (+94%), Southeast Asia $45.6B (doubled) into #2, US $15.1B (+68%); expanding from Southeast Asia into the US/EU (Australia/NZ in preparation).
  5. Emerging-region Top 5s are highly concentrated and the lineup is shifting fast: SEA top 3 hold 98.8%; Vietnam TikTok Shop share up to ~41%; Korea Shinsegae × Alibaba JV launched; LatAm Magalu/Casas Bahia ecommerce is contracting; Australia/NZ local platforms Catch/MyDeal shut down — the market is entering a "giant-consolidation" phase, with the window for new entrants in vertical categories, content commerce, and localized services.

(Detailed figures for each region are in Chapters 2–10.)

2. North America

Ranking basis: by US ecommerce sales/GMV (Marketplace Pulse definition). Shopify is merchant infrastructure (not a marketplace) and is included because its merchants’ sales are about 14% of US ecommerce. TikTok Shop (#6, US GMV $15.1B) and Etsy are near-list platforms.

Rank Platform Company Key data US ecommerce share Positioning & strengths
1 Amazon Amazon.com North America segment net sales FY2024 $387.5B (+10%); US sales 2025 about $440B 35.7% (Marketplace Pulse 2025; eMarketer definition about 40%) Marketplace+1P+Prime+FBA; 62% of GMV from third-party sellers (Q4'24); ads $17.3B (Q4'24); AI assistant Rufus
2 Shopify Shopify Inc. Global GMV FY2024 $292.2B (+24%); FY2025 revenue ~$11.56B (+30%); GMV >$300B (MP est. $378B ⚠) ~14% (2025) World’s largest ecommerce SaaS/D2C infrastructure; Shop Pay+fulfillment+POS; AI shopping orders +15x
3 Walmart Walmart Inc. FY2025 total revenue $681B (+5.1%); global ecommerce +16%; ecommerce about 18% of Q4 sales ~7% (Consumer Edge) Omnichannel + #1 US grocery ecommerce; Marketplace 200,000+ sellers; Walmart+ membership; WFS fulfillment
4 eBay eBay Inc. Global GMV FY2024 $74.7B (+2%); US GMV about $39.1B; about 131 million active buyers ~3% Strongest in C2C/collectibles/refurbished; pivoting to live shopping and AI
5 Temu PDD Holdings US GMV 2024 about $25B → 2025 about $22B (MP est.) ~2% Ultra-low-price cross-border; end of de minimis (May 2025) directly hit the direct-mail model; growth stalled
Near-list TikTok Shop ByteDance US GMV 2025 $15.1B (+68%); 2024 $9B ~1.3–2% Social+live commerce; still growing fast amid US ownership controversy

⚠️ Definition note: Amazon’s US share differs between 35.7% (Marketplace Pulse GMV definition) and ~40% (eMarketer retail-ecommerce definition); Temu US GMV is a third-party estimate (PDD does not disclose); Walmart does not disclose US ecommerce GMV ("~$15B" is 3P marketplace only).

2025 developments: the end of de minimis duty-free treatment reset Temu/Shein’s low-price model; Amazon Haul (low-price store) and Rufus AI launched; Shopify first crossed $10B revenue/$300B GMV; eBay strategically narrowed to collectibles; TikTok Shop kept growing through the ownership controversy.

3. Europe

Ranking basis: by ECDB 2025 Europe GMV ranking (Amazon ~$232B #1, ≈ the sum of #2–10 at $244B), excluding Russia-local platforms Ozon/Wildberries (essentially unreachable for global merchants); #5 decided by company-disclosed GMV. AliExpress (ECDB #4), Shein (#7), and eBay (CBCommerce #3) are near-list platforms.

Rank Platform Company Key data Positioning & strengths
1 Amazon Amazon.com Europe GMV 2025 about $232B (ECDB, ≈ sum of #2–10); #1 in UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy; EU investment €38B (2024) / €55B (2025 plan) Pan-European marketplace+Prime+FBA; Europe cross-border share over 50%
2 Temu PDD Holdings EU 2024 revenue about $1.7B (+124%; profit +171%); EU monthly active users 115.7 million+ (DSA data); UK revenue $63.3M (+97%) Ultra-low-price cross-border; ECDB Europe #6, CBCommerce cross-border #2; EU regulation tightening from 2025 (DSA investigation, €3/parcel tax from July 2026)
3 Zalando Zalando SE Group GMV 2025 €17.6B (+14.7%); revenue €12.3B (+16.8%); 62 million active customers Europe’s #1 fashion-lifestyle platform (29 countries, 7,000+ brands); acquired ABOUT YOU; 90% of product content AI-generated
4 Allegro Allegro.eu Group GMV FY2025 PLN 69.2B (about €16B, +9.1%); revenue PLN 11.7B; 20.4 million active buyers Europe’s largest locally founded marketplace; #1 in Poland (about 1% of Poland’s GDP); Allegro Smart! membership+Allegro Pay+own parcel lockers
5 Vinted Vinted Group Platform GMV 2025 €10.8B (+47%); revenue €1.1B (+38%); net profit €62M Europe’s #1 C2C second-hand fashion; 500,000+ pickup points; 2025 secondary-market valuation €8B
Near-list AliExpress Alibaba ECDB Europe #4; CBCommerce cross-border #4 Alibaba’s cross-border flagship; 2025 launched "Local+" local fulfillment

⚠️ Definition note: Amazon Europe GMV (ECDB, including 3P) is not directly comparable with Amazon International segment net sales ($142.9B/2024); Allegro PLN 69.2B is a group definition (Poland local PLN 66.4B); Shein "US+EU >$40B" (Modaes) uses a different definition from its US GMV ~$6B and global revenue $41.8B — do not mix.

2025 developments: the EU opened a DSA investigation into Temu (maximum fine 6% of global turnover); from July 2026 a €3/parcel small-package customs charge hits the direct-mail model; Zalando completed the ABOUT YOU acquisition; Vinted Germany turned to profit; AliExpress shifted toward local fulfillment.

4. China

Ranking basis: by GMV (third-party estimates, calendar year) — Chinese platforms almost never disclose GMV: only Kuaishou discloses officially; JD.com stopped after 2017, Alibaba discloses growth rates only, and Pinduoduo/Douyin never disclose. So 4 of 5 GMVs are third-party estimates (±10–30% error) and must be labeled.

Rank Platform Company GMV (est.) Company revenue (official) Users Positioning & strengths
1 Taobao/Tmall Alibaba ~¥8 trillion (2024 est., about $1.1T) FY2025 ¥996.3 billion (+6%, fiscal-year definition) Annual buyers ~1 billion; 11.11 DAU 508 million Tmall B2C brand stores + Taobao C2C long tail; strongest in apparel, beauty, home; 88VIP; 2025 launched Taobao Flash Sale
2–4 (tight race) Pinduoduo PDD Holdings ~¥4.3–4.4 trillion (2025 est.; another estimate ¥5.2 trillion) 2025 revenue ¥430 billion+ (+10%); Q4 ¥123.9 billion (+12% but profit −12%) 900 million+ buyers; 11.11 DAU 414 million Extreme low price + group buying + 10-billion subsidy; lower-tier markets and agricultural products; Temu going overseas
2–4 (tight race) JD.com JD Group ~¥4.5 trillion (2024 rumor) 2025 revenue ¥1,309.1 billion (+13%); net profit ¥27.0 billion (another definition ¥19.6 billion) Annual active 700 million+; 11.11 DAU 227 million 1P 3C/appliances + owned logistics + JD Instant Delivery; 2025 entered food delivery; claims it still leads Douyin by ¥1 trillion
2–4 (tight race) Douyin ecommerce ByteDance ¥3.5 trillion (2024, +30%) → 2025 expected ¥4.0–4.3 trillion Not disclosed (private) MAU 907 million (#1 among all apps) Pioneer of content/live commerce ("full-domain interest ecommerce"); live GMV share ~28% (ahead of Taobao Live)
5 Kuaishou ecommerce Kuaishou Technology ~¥1.6 trillion (2025, official+media) FY2025 ¥142.8 billion (+12.5%); adjusted net profit ¥20.6 billion (a record) DAU declining (only one of the five major content platforms) Live commerce + lower-tier markets ("trust ecommerce"); agricultural products/white-label; Kuaishou distribution system

⚠️ Key definition notes: 1. Ranks 2–4 are contested: 2024 estimates put JD.com (~¥4.5 trillion) ≥ Pinduoduo (~¥4.3–4.4 trillion) > Douyin (¥3.5 trillion); 2025 estimates have Douyin (~¥4.3 trillion) catching/overtaking JD.com, and 100EC says Douyin has already overtaken Pinduoduo and JD.com (JD.com denies this). This table presents them as a tie. 2. GMVs are all third-party estimates (except Kuaishou); revenues are official disclosures but use different definitions (marketplaces recognize only commissions/ad revenue; JD.com 1P recognizes full merchandise value). 3. Data definitions: Alibaba is fiscal year (April–following March); the others are calendar year; NBS online retail ¥15.97 trillion (2025, +8.6%) includes services and is not directly comparable with platform GMV. 4. Kuaishou GMV conflict: media report ~¥1.6 trillion vs 100EC report ¥521.8 billion (possibly a quarterly figure or a transcription error).

2025 developments: the price war ebbed (618 "abandon the price war"); Douyin "squeezed water" and shifted toward merchant profitability; JD.com entered food delivery/quick commerce (JD Instant Delivery vs Taobao Flash Sale); China live-commerce GMV crossed ¥5 trillion (Douyin ~28%, Taobao Live <20%); Pinduoduo "rebuild another Pinduoduo in three years" plus a ¥100-billion+ supply-chain investment; Alibaba pivoted to AI/cloud as a second curve.

5. Japan & South Korea

5.1 Japan

Ranking basis: disclosed GMV first (only Rakuten discloses a large GMV), otherwise by revenue; Amazon Japan by third-party estimate. #1/#2 order is contested (see note).

Rank Platform Company Key data Positioning & strengths
1 Rakuten Ichiba Rakuten Group Domestic ecommerce GMV ¥6.35T (FY2025 calendar year, about $41–42B); group revenue a record for 29 consecutive years Japan’s largest marketplace; Rakuten points closed loop across ecommerce/finance (Card/Bank)/mobile
2 Amazon Japan Amazon 2025 sales +12% (est.); Chinese sellers as the main growth force Full assortment+Prime next-day; strong in electronics/daily goods; ⚠️ some media claim it already topped Japan in 2025 (contested)
3 Yahoo! Shopping / LINE Yahoo LY Corporation Group FY2025 revenue a record (about ¥2.5T, Media & EC led); GMV not disclosed Search+shopping+LINE+PayPay ecosystem; strong in fashion/lifestyle
4 Mercari Mercari Inc FY2025 (through Jun 2025) revenue ¥192.6B; cross-border GMV >¥90B C2C second-hand leader; expanding into cross-border and finance (Merpay)
5 ZOZOTOWN ZOZO Inc FY2025 (through Mar 2025) GMV and EBITDA records; revenue about ¥185–190B Japan’s #1 fashion ecommerce (D2C-led); ZOZOSUIT try-on tech; 2026 acquired fragrance platform COLORIA

⚠️ Definition note: Rakuten is listed #1 by disclosed GMV (¥6.35T is the largest official platform GMV found); Amazon Japan has no official Japan revenue and is listed #2 by estimated growth — their 2025 ranking is contested. Temu/AliExpress cross-border is growing fast but has not yet entered the top five. Fiscal-year definitions differ (Rakuten calendar year / Mercari through June / ZOZO through March / LY through March); do not mix.

5.2 South Korea

Ranking basis: Coupang by official revenue; Naver by group revenue + transaction standing; ranks 3–5 by users/new installs and strategic standing (no official GMV).

Rank Platform Company Key data Positioning & strengths
1 Coupang Coupang Inc 2025 net revenue $34.5B (a record, about ₩49T); 2024 $30.9B (+24%); Q4'25 profit −97% (data-breach event) 1P retail+Rocket Delivery next-day+Rocket Growth seller services; strong in fresh/grocery; about 32 million MAU
2 Naver Shopping Naver Corp 2025 group revenue ₩12T+ (about $9.1B, a record); ecommerce revenue share first exceeded 30% Search+shopping aggregation (open market); Naver Pay; AI shopping; "death match" with Coupang for Korea #1
3 AliExpress Korea + Gmarket Alibaba International + Shinsegae JV JV launched October 2025 (conditional KFTC approval in September); Gmarket rebooted with Alibaba AI/network Cross-border low price (AliExpress) + local open market (Gmarket); "three Chinese dragons" applying pressure
4 11Street SK Square Users growing fast (2025); no GMV disclosure ⚠️ Veteran Korean open market (general merchandise)
5 Temu PDD Holdings Dec 2025 #1 in new app installs; MAU climbing fast; no official data ⚠️ Ultra-low-price cross-border; local logistics/seller footprint
Near-list Kakao Commerce Kakao Corp KakaoTalk shopping ecosystem Alternative #5 candidate

⚠️ Definition and conflict notes: Coupang 2024 growth +24% (USD, official) vs +29% (KRW, Chinese media); "Korea ecommerce $1.38T" (a Chinese restatement of Statista) is a methodology mismatch and has been excluded; 11Street/Temu have no official GMV.

6. India

Ranking basis: India has no uniformly audited GMV series — by FY2025 GMV/share estimates (ICICI Securities: share and users; CLSA: Meesho; company financials). Quick commerce is included in the Top 5: Zepto annualized GOV (~$4B) and Blinkit GOV (≈ Zomato food delivery) already exceed Nykaa GMV; Myntra is folded into Flipkart Group to avoid double-counting. Note: q-comm uses GOV (including non-merchandise categories), which is not fully comparable with marketplace GMV, and is treated as a separate high-growth category. India e-retail 2025 about $65B (WPP/MediaCom).

Rank Platform Company Key data (FY25) Share / positioning Notes
1 Flipkart Group (incl. Myntra) Walmart GMV about $33–39B (derived: 50–60% × ~$65B); 220 million users, ~85 million WAU 50–60% Mass full-assortment marketplace+fashion (Myntra); Flipkart Minutes quick commerce; planned ~$40 billion IPO (already delayed)
2 Amazon India Amazon Seller-services revenue ₹3 trillion+ (+19%); losses narrowed 89%; first operating profit in 12 years ~20–25% (est.) Full assortment+Prime ecosystem; "Bharat" lower-tier strategy; 2025 entered quick commerce (Tez/Now)
3 Meesho Meesho (SoftBank-backed) GMV run-rate $6.2B; 26% CAGR through FY31 (CLSA); IPO filed (₹425 billion new shares) ~10% (derived) Value-commerce leader; zero/low commissions; tier-2/3 lower-tier + social distribution
4 Zepto Zepto (private) Annualized GOV ~$4B (Apr 2025); FY25 revenue ₹1.111 trillion (2.5x); $450M pre-IPO raise Quick commerce #2 10-minute delivery; urban focus; three-way fight with Blinkit/Instamart
5 Blinkit Eternal (formerly Zomato) Q4 FY25 GOV "neck and neck" with Zomato food delivery; Q3 revenue +117%; 2026 Q1 order value first exceeded Zomato food delivery Quick commerce #1 Quick-commerce leader; 10-minute grocery+general merchandise; dark-store network expanding fast
Near-list Nykaa FSN E-Commerce FY25 GMV +27%; FY26 revenue crossed ₹1 trillion Beauty #1 Omnichannel beauty (237 stores)

⚠️ Definition note: India market-size definitions vary widely ($60B estimate / $65B e-retail 2025 / $174–214B FY30 forecast); Flipkart and Amazon absolute GMV are derived estimates; q-comm GOV is not directly comparable with marketplace GMV; quick commerce drove 45% of 2025 festival-season purchases.

7. Southeast Asia

Ranking basis: by Momentum Works Ecommerce in SEA 2026 platform GMV (CY2025 total $157.6B, +22.8%; top 3 hold 98.8%). Another definition, e-Conomy SEA (Google-Temasek-Bain), puts 2025 ecommerce at about $181B (including non-platform channels) — the two definitions must not be mixed. Ranks 4–5 are estimates (Momentum Works only publishes granularity for the top three; the long tail totals only ~1.2%).

Rank Platform Company GMV 2025 Share Positioning & strengths
1 Shopee Sea Ltd Southeast Asia $83.2B; global $127.4B (+26.8%) ~53% Mass market+gamification+owned logistics (SPX)+SeaMoney; Indonesia share 54%
2 TikTok Shop (incl. Tokopedia Indonesia) ByteDance Southeast Asia $45.6B (about 2×); global about $64B ~29% Live/content commerce; after the 2023 Indonesia ban, acquired ~75% of Tokopedia for $1.5B and integrated operations
3 Lazada Alibaba about $26.9B (derived: 98.8%×157.6−83.2−45.6) ~17% Alibaba flagship; owned logistics; overtaken by TikTok Shop into third; Vietnam Lazada+Tiki only 3% left
4 Amazon.sg Amazon about $1–2B (est.) <1.5% Singapore-focused; Prime Now/Fresh
5 Tiki Tiki Corp about $0.5B (est.) <1% Vietnam local platform (electronics/books); share declining

⚠️ Definition and conflict notes: 1. Two total-size definitions: Momentum Works platform GMV $157.6B (2025) vs e-Conomy SEA ecommerce $181B (including non-platform) — cite the series when quoting. 2. TikTok Shop SEA $45.6B (TNGlobal "~2x") differs from some media "+132%" and Indonesia-only $13.1B (MOCA) (the latter may understate or exclude Tokopedia volume). 3. Do not mix Shopee Southeast Asia $83.2B with global $127.4B; Lazada GMV is a derived estimate (Alibaba does not disclose). 4. "Chinese platforms about 50% of SEA GMV": TikTok Shop (~29%)+Lazada (~17%) ≈46%, plus Temu/Shein (not in the platform GMV series) approaches 50% — partially supported. 5. Country divergence: Indonesia 2025 platform GMV $57.7B (Shopee 54%), growth slowing (Ministry of Trade: ecommerce only +2.2%); Vietnam Top4 platform sales 429 trillion dong (+34.8%), TikTok Shop share up to ~41%; Thailand the fastest growth (~+52%, second-hand).

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).

9. Latin America

Ranking basis: GMV/revenue disclosures (Mercado Libre, Magalu, Casas Bahia) + Brazil traffic share (Shopee, Amazon; Conversion/SimilarWeb: 2025 Brazil ecommerce visits 33.9 billion, MELI #1 at 15.3%, Shopee #2, Amazon #3) + qualitative standing. Latin America is most complete for Brazil data; Mexico is counted separately (Temu #1 in traffic).

Rank Platform Company Key data Positioning & strengths
1 Mercado Libre MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI) FY2025 GMV ~$65B; 120 million+ buyers; Q4'25 revenue $8.76B (+45%), GMV $19.9B (+36.8%) Latin America’s undisputed leader; Mercado Pago fintech synergy; owned logistics; Q4 Brazil GMV +35% (FX-neutral)
2 Shopee Sea Ltd Brazil traffic #2 (recaptured in 2025); Brazil GMV not disclosed ([GAP]); group Q4'25 GMV $36.7B Brazil is Shopee’s fastest-growing market; low price+cross-border+local logistics (SPX Express)
3 Amazon (.com.br) Amazon.com Brazil traffic #3; Brazil GMV not disclosed ([GAP]) Global marketplace+Prime logistics; sales and logistics partnership with Magalu; low-price strategy against Asian cross-border
4 Magazine Luiza (Magalu) Magalu (B3: MGLU3) FY2025 net revenue R$27.2B (about $4.7–4.9B, official earnings-document definition); Q4 gross profit R$3.3B (+3.1%) Brazil’s largest omnichannel retailer; MagaluPay finance; ecommerce deliberately contracted, stores carrying performance
5 Grupo Casas Bahia Casas Bahia (B3: BHIA3) 2025 GMV a record (value not disclosed [GAP]); debt cut 77%; Q4 credit sales a record Credit-driven lower-tier retail; ecommerce was the 2025 core growth engine; turnaround after restructuring
Wildcard Temu / SHEIN PDD / Shein Temu 15.9% of Mexico ecommerce (2025 Q2; full-year ranking unaudited); Temu+Shein Mexico combined about 40% (definition questionable); Brazil Asian cross-border platforms combined about 41.5% Cross-border low-price shock, but under pressure after Brazil tax hikes

⚠️ Definition note: the ranking mixes GMV (MELI/Magalu), traffic (Shopee/Amazon), and qualitative standing (Casas Bahia); Brazil is the primary lens — if Mexico is primary, Temu is #1 in traffic and the order differs. Brazil online retail 2025 R$235B (about $40–43B).

10. Middle East & Africa

Ranking basis: Gulf (Noon, Amazon) is a qualitative ranking (neither discloses GMV); Jumia and Takealot by disclosed revenue; Trendyol by second-hand estimate. MEA data is incomplete; gaps are marked [GAP].

10.1 Middle East

Rank Platform Company Key data Positioning & strengths
1 Noon (noon.com/.sa) Noon (Emaar + Alabbar; PIF-backed) GMV/revenue not disclosed [GAP]; Dec 2025 raised $500M (PIF-backed); valuation about $10 billion; planned UAE/Saudi dual listing Gulf local champion (UAE/KSA/Egypt); noon express logistics, noon fresh grocery, noon pay finance; "approaching profitability"
2 Amazon.ae / Amazon.sa Amazon Country GMV not disclosed [GAP] (rolled into International segment) Former Souq conversion; one of the Gulf duopoly; influx of Chinese sellers
3 Jumia Jumia Technologies (NYSE: JMIA) FY2025 revenue $188.9M (+13%); losses cut 38% to ~$60.1M; Q4 +34% Pan-Africa #1 (9+ countries); 2024–25 exited several countries to focus on core markets (Nigeria/Egypt/Morocco etc.); targeting quarterly breakeven in 2026
4 Takealot Naspers/Prosus FY26 revenue >R16bn (about $1B); first full-year profit; H1 FY26 about $385M South Africa #1; holding ground under siege from Amazon SA (launched 2024), SHEIN, Temu; logistics opened to third parties
5 Trendyol Alibaba (majority stake) Transaction value about $14B, about 40% of Turkey ecommerce (second-hand estimate, year unclear) Turkey #1, fashion-led super app; expanding into Saudi/UAE/Eastern Europe; Alibaba sold 85% of Trendyol GO in Dec 2025 (about ¥5 billion)

⚠️ Definition and gap notes: Noon and Amazon never disclose country GMV (ranking is a qualitative judgment); Trendyol $14B/40% is a second-hand estimate; Jumia FY25 GMV was not captured in this retrieval (revenue has been verified). The Gulf is a Noon vs Amazon duopoly (Saudi social-commerce reports likewise put these two first).
