Fast facts:

Being the world’s largest economy, the United States of America also holds the coveted position of being the second-largest eCommerce market in the world (only second to China), whereas Canada comes 9th on the list! (business.com)

Both the USA and Canada have seen a significant increase in online shopping over the recent years, with online sales in the USA totalling around $905 billion and in Canada $58 billion in 2022. (Statista)

Some of the world’s biggest marketplaces, such as Amazon and eBay, originate in the US, and even though eCommerce in the US is yet to catch up with a mature market like China, it only means there is scope for massive growth in the online consumer market.

While eCommerce has been growing in Canada, the market is smaller than the United States. In fact, there are only a few major players in the Canadian eCommerce market, Amazon and Walmart.
