Key stat: More US adults across incomes are Amazon Prime subscribers than Walmart+ ones, but the highest share of people who subscribe only to Walmart+ is among those making less than $50,000 per year, according to PYMNTS.
Beyond the chart:
- Walmart’s appeal to value-conscious consumers is a potential selling point as tariffs squeeze lower-income shoppers.
- 29.1% of consumers making more than $100,000 per year subscribe to both Walmart+ and Prime, showing that consumers are willing to stack services if they find value in both.
- 44.7% of consumers making under $50,000 per year do not subscribe to either service, indicating an untapped market for whichever retailer can demonstrate value to cash-strapped consumers.
Use this chart: Marketers and retailers can use this chart to demonstrate differing behaviors across incomes. For higher-income audiences, they should consider emphasizing convenience, exclusive perks, and bundled content. For lower-income audiences, they may focus on value, fuel discounts, and grocery benefits.
