PRESS RELEASE
Hamburg, November 4th
, 2016
New Report from yStats.com tells role of marketplaces in
global E-Commerce
Hamburg-based E-Commerce research firm yStats.com’s new report, “Global E-Commerce Marketplaces 2016,” shows
that online marketplaces have an ever-increasing share of total online retail sales. The report also offers some details about
the leading global marketplace hosts, Alibaba, Amazon, and eBay.
The online platforms that offer the goods of third-party retailers have become the major movers of global E-Commerce.
According to the yStats.com report, about half of online shoppers do most of their online purchases through marketplaces, as they find
them convenient for discovering new sellers and new products anywhere in the world.
Retailers also find marketplaces convenient to establish an online presence. Some online retailers sell through their own
Internet store as well as through one or more of the marketplace platforms, such as those operated by Amazon, eBay and Alibaba. The
yStats.com report indicates that just a small percentage of online retailers do not sell through a marketplace, though the intense
competition results in limited growth for retailers that rely heavily on online marketplace sales.
