ThredUP currently has 28 brand clients, including Walmart, adidas, and Madewell, per its earnings call. Poshmark’s “Brand Closets” program lets brands open a storefront on the platform to sell directly to consumers.

While Amazon’s strengths in ecommerce enabled it to quickly grab digital grocery market share, the company is second to Walmart when it comes to grocery ecommerce sales. We expect Amazon’s share of grocery ecommerce to remain steady into 2023, even as Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, and Target all grow their pieces of the pie.

Walmart said last September it would raise workers’ pay to at least $12 per hour, and its starting wages for store employees range between $12 and $26, with supply-chain roles starting at up to $28 an hour, a spokeswoman told The Wall Street Journal. Amazon’s minimum wage is $15 an hour, with average hourly wages at around $18.

For instance, 6 million households added a dog to their home last year, which led brands such as Walmart and REI to recently begin selling Bark products. Analyst take: “Where a brand is in its lifecycle dictates its strategy,” said Suzy Davidkhanian, eMarketer principal analyst at Insider Intelligence.

Walmart Inc. (Walmart and Sam’s Club) takes the No. 1 spot with 28.9% market share. Walmart’s primary digital grocery business—Walmart.com—would still be No. 1 with a 35.3% market share, when excluding Sam’s Club. Walmart is followed by Amazon (23.8%), Kroger (12.3%), Target (4.9%), and Albertsons (4.9%).

Amazon will dominate holiday ecommerce once again, though omnichannel leaders Walmart, Target, and Best Buy are also positioned for success. Apparel and department store retailers will benefit from a pandemic rebound. WHAT’S IN THIS REPORT?

Earlier this year, Walmart announced a partnership with The Trade Desk, the largest independent DSP, to create Walmart DSP. The new platform, which goes live in October 2021, will use The Trade Desk’s technology plus Walmart’s data to allow advertisers to purchase ads on and off Walmart properties.

However, even if Amazon’s grocery expansion lures some shoppers away from big-box retailers and grocery stores, its physical presence is a tiny blip compared with its main competitors’ physical footprints: Walmart has more than 5,000 locations, Kroger nearly 2,800, and Target over 1,900.

Walmart Inc. will outsell Amazon in the US digital grocery market this year, generating $35.38 billion in sales over the ecommerce giant’s $29.12 billion.

Keep prices low to keep customers loyal, like Walmart and Target have done. Raise prices in line with the rate of inflation, which leads to higher revenues but not higher profits. Hike prices above the rate of inflation to increase profits but risk having price-conscious consumers jump ship.

Walmart has made several moves over the past year to improve its employer-sponsored digital health benefits. While retailers tend to lay off large swaths of seasonal workers in January, many did not do so this year due to the difficulties attracting and retaining service-sector workers.

Morgan projects that Amazon will overtake Walmart as the largest US retailer in 2022, when measured by gross merchandise value (GMV). Amazon’s road to dominance has been full of trial, innovation, and acquisition.
