U.S. marketplaces out-raced the rest of the world in 2021, despite growing more slowly than they did in a record-setting 2020.

It’s worth noting that marketplace growth in 2021 exceeded that of other forms of retail.

Global ecommerce sales, which include marketplaces and other forms of digital commerce like direct-to-consumer sites and single-retailer websites, grew just 13.1% in 2021. And third-party GMV growth on marketplaces topped the growth in total marketplace GMV in 2021, reaching 18.4%.

But the Top 100 U.S.-based marketplaces beat that performance, recording 18.7% growth in total GMV in 2021, to reach a record high of $917.79 billion.
