Walmart Marketplace GMV Will Double in 2020

India Becomes Amazon’s Second Largest Marketplace
Amazon has attracted 700,000 sellers - mostly local micro-enterprises - to join its India marketplace since it launched in the country in 2013. India has recently surpassed the U.K. and Germany marketplaces to became the second largest marketplace in terms of the number of sellers.
Etsy's Face Mask Honeypot
Etsy has used surging demand for face masks to accelerate growth for all handmade and vintage goods. After growing 20% for the last five years, it will nearly double GMV in 2020.
Products on Amazon Have a Lot More Reviews
Popular products on Amazon have significantly increased the number of reviews and raised the overall star rating since the company introduced one-tap ratings last year.
Suppliers Are Funding Amazon’s Future
The lag between when Amazon gets paid by customers and when it has to pay its suppliers hit an all-time high of 35 days in the third quarter. Amazon doesn't need to borrow, nor it needs to issue stock. It uses its cash-generating operating cycle to fund its future investments.
Amazon Launches in Sweden
