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.

⚠️ 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.
