Walmart, the retail giant, overtakes Apple as the No. 3 online retailer in U.S.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Walmart is one of the fastest growing ecommerce businesses in the world.<\/p>\n

The retail giant, which includes Walmart, Sam\u2019s Club and Jet.com, will capture 4% of all online retail spending in the U.S., totaling $20.91 billion.<\/p>\n

This will turn the company into the third largest ecommerce retailer in the U.S. by the end of 2018, surpassing Apple, who will grow just over 18% this year, according to eMarketer<\/a>\u2014less than last year\u2014 as domestic sales for smartphones and other consumer electronic devices begin to slow down.<\/p>\n

An eMarketer<\/a>\u00a0analyst, Andrew Lipsman, said:\u00a0\u201cThe retail giant continues to make smart acquisitions to extend its ecommerce portfolio and attract younger and more affluent shoppers. But more than anything, Walmart has caught its stride with a fast-growing online grocery business, which is helped in large part by the massive consumer adoption of click-and-collect.\u201d<\/p>\n

All behind Amazon<\/h2>\n

Although Walmart climbs\u00a0fearlessly towards the top, Amazon remains the king of ecommerce, and the crown is not in danger anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Despite ecommerce is becoming a rising market, one that will grow 16.0% to reach $525.69 billion in 2018, no one can really take on the Jeff Bezos behemoth, who grows at an astounding pace and can bag 48.0% share of the total U.S. ecommerce of this year.<\/p>\n

Amazon’s domestic growth is coming from three categories: apparel and accessories, health and beauty and food and beverage, but its lack of\u00a0leadership has them very aware of the competition around them, and the risks of losing retail sales.<\/p>\n

Ecommerce will make up 9.8% of total US retail sales this year, and a bloody battle-royal for the top of the mountain has just broken out. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
