“It is clear that the fourth quarter is going to be monumental for e-commerce, but it is also clear that there is no infrastructure to support it,” said Juozas Kaziukenas, founder of researcher Marketplace Pulse.
The number of sellers on Walmart's marketplace has doubled to more than 50,000 since July 2019, according to a report from Marketplace Pulse. More than 5,000 new sellers have joined the platform since the retail giant announced its partnership with Shopify last month.
“This is ultimately what allowed Wish to exist in a way,” says Juozas Kaziukenas, founder of ecommerce research firm Marketplace Pulse.
Because each speaker was given a five minute limit to ask questions, some of the conversations seemed rushed and disorganized, according to Juozas Kaziukenas, CEO of Marketplace Pulse. He said it would have been more effective if the committee had questioned each CEO on separate days, as the questioning seemed to lack depth.
"It didn't seem to present any new angles or uncovered evidence," he said.
Shopify recently reached a deal with Walmart to allow small businesses to list on the US retailer’s platform, a move that according to Marketplace Pulse led to a surge in new retailers on the site.
Following the Shopify announcement, the marketplace added 3,000 more sellers in June and is expected to exceed 3,600 in July, according to a new report from research firm Marketplace Pulse. That’s triple how many sellers it was adding at the beginning of 2020, the firm’s numbers indicate.
Now, Amazon.com has a formidable lead in U.S. ecommerce with 461,000 active third-party sellers and more than 10 million orders per day, per analytics firm Marketplace Pulse. Google did not disclose the number of merchants on its platform, but Marketplace Pulse CEO Joe Kaziukenas said his data shows Buy on Google has 5,600 sellers as of this month.
Google Shopping had about 3,700 stores and other merchants at the end of 2019, compared with 3 million active sellers on Amazon, according to e-commerce research firm Marketplace Pulse.
“They are incredibly secretive about what is happening behind the scenes,” says Juozas Kaziukenas, chief executive of e-commerce research firm Marketplace Pulse. “There is barely any coverage about the company’s story so far given how successful it is.”
Kaziukenas guesses that Shein only sells outside of China because an international postal treaty has made it a lucrative business model. He says Shein is probably shipping products on demand straight from factories in China, which would explain the long wait time and how it can offer a large catalogue at such a low price.
The event was underwhelming with little advertising or curation of products, says Juozas Kaziukėnas, founder of marketplace data firm Marketplace Pulse. “While Prime Day has become a somewhat known event, this Style Sale was very forgettable,” he says.
Amazon sales events, however, still generated a lift in sales, despite lackluster presentation, Kaziukėnas adds.
