Key stat: Walmart was the biggest US retailer by US sales in 2022 with nearly $500 billion in sales, more than double the size of runner-up Amazon, according to the National Retail Federation.

Beyond the chart:

• Amazon beat Walmart Inc. in US ecommerce sales in 2022, with $392.21 billion to Walmart Inc.’s $68.09 billion, according to our forecast.
• But with a much larger store footprint, Walmart is on top in overall sales.
• The other companies cracking the top five—Costco Wholesale, The Kroger Co., and The Home Depot—all benefit from in-store sales. As in-store retail media takes off, those businesses will be at an advantage.
