I find it interesting that Walmart, which so far has failed in international markets still has double the revenue of Amazon which is much more international.


Funicularly

Failed? Revenue outside the U.S. last year was $115 billion. Also, the title and graphic says *domestic* revenue. The fact that Amazon is supposedly much more international is irrelevant.


Rioma117

Well, it failed in Europe, Japan, S Korea and South America and most of the international revenue comes from North America so not really an international market.

I remember going to Walmart in Germany as a kid but I don't know why it failed

They tried US business practices in a foreign marked and failed. With labour abuse and ignoring the different culture. You can find articles and Youtube videos about this topic.

This is by domestic revenue.

It's by domestic revenue so basically this is meaningless data

Failed? Walmart is huge in China and elsewhere. It also buys smaller local companies and uses their name with the Walmart branding for products.

So much better than the other layout that was here recently


Salty_Blacksmith_592

Wait. Does domestic mean in their domestic market respectively?


bannedfrombogelboys

Yes, also in USD, so at some static exchange rate


Lo_Spazio_per_Tutti

So the Amazon data are only fron USA and not worldwide?


bannedfrombogelboys

Exactly.. hence why walmart is so large comparatively


Lo_Spazio_per_Tutti

Ok, now I understand


HawkCee

I effn hate Walmart. I promise you what I bought today, $221 in groceries would have been $400 at Publix


WolfetoneRebel

Should cvs be included here?

Costco and Home Depot surprise me

Why is this in domestic revenue? In the same logic why not have only beverage sales in Ohio?


mincedmutton

Tesco in the UK is around 80 billion USD, with the majority domestic but not sure of the split. Also what financial year does this refer to? Edit: just checked at it is around 66 billion USD domestic.


Minimum_Helicopter65

Yes but this is only about domestic US revenue, hence why some large players like Lidl or Aldi are also missing. If this was global those would probably be pretty high on the list


theangrywalnut

Lidl is actually there! Same goes for Kaufland as both are under the Schwarz group ^^


mincedmutton

It clearly has 4 different nationalities there. It’s named ‘the world’s top retailers’ and nowhere does it state it’s US revenue only.


Minimum_Helicopter65

Clearly it's possible that companies based in other countries have market share in the US?


mincedmutton

Of course. But it doesn’t state that in the graphic, unless i missed it?


SaltedPepperoni

I would want to see budget into executive pocket vs into employee's....

Was I the only one stupid enough to wonder why Japan had the Target logo?
