Top 10 e-commerce sites in the US 2020

 The world’s most developed market for online shopping by far, the US is the global standard for e-commerce. Many of its greatest e-commerce companies are in a leading position in other countries, setting the pace and creating the trends that shape the rest of the world’s online shopping.

The domination of the US on internet and e-commerce comes from its massive 288 million internet users, affluent population and well-spread habit of relying upon online shopping. Using both computers and mobile devices to access digital services, American online consumers are used to engaging in commercial transactions to purchase a wide array of goods and services.

Since the American market is so developed and solvable, it is no surprise that the competition between e-commerce players is fierce. Large platforms that operate through many segments, like Amazon and eBay, are dominating, but traditional brick-and-mortar distributors are still managing to take a share of the market.
