A new report by Internet Retailer shows that the top publicly traded retailers are driving a lot of the growth in online retail.
The merchants tracked in Internet Retailer’s exclusive quarterly financial report are 30 publicly held companies that break out e-commerce sales on a quarterly basis. Amazon accounted for more than three-quarters of the e-commerce growth among the 30 retailers in the report in the fourth quarter. Factoring out Amazon’s web sales, the remaining 29 merchants grew six percentage points slower.
But Amazon is not the only merchant growing well online, as 12 of the 30 retailers increased web sales by double digits in Q4. The “E-Retail Quarterly Financial Spotlight” delves into what publicly traded retailers are doing to boost e-commerce sales—and where they’re falling short. The report analyzes the latest financial results of some of the largest e-commerce merchants, and includes detail on revenue, net income and mobile commerce penetration. The analysis breaks down retailers by merchant type, such as retail chains and web-only retailers.
