Walmart’s E-Commerce Growth Outpaces Amazon Amid Retail Dominance
Walmart (WMT -0.37%) continues to defy competition from tech giants, leveraging its brick-and-mortar dominance to fuel a 22% year-over-year surge in U.S. e-commerce sales. While Amazon (AMZN 0.94%) maintains a 40% market share, its growth rate lags at 11%—highlighting Walmart's strategic focus on omnichannel strengths.
The retailer's 4,600 U.S. stores serve as logistical hubs, enabling faster delivery times than Amazon's decentralized model. This infrastructure advantage is proving critical as consumer preferences shift toward hybrid shopping experiences.
