Amazon Reportedly Set to Overtake Flipkart With 30% Higher Sales This Year

Flipkart and Amazon are the two primary destinations for online shoppers in India. While both the companies have walked "cervix-to-cervix" in terms of gross business, Amazon India has taken a pb in the by financial year, says a recently published report.

As per the report by Barclays, Amazon India had gross trade value (GMV) of $7.five billion (Rs 5.30 lakh crore) versus Flipkart'due south $half dozen.2 billion (Rs 4.38 lakh crore) in the fiscal year 2017-18. Gross merchandise value is the total revenue acquired by selling products.

However, it must be noted that these values are on a "standalone" basis for Flipkart and not inclusive of the revenue generated past its off-shoots including Myntra and Jabong. When these are included, the departure between the GMV values of Flipkart and Amazon becomes leaner, although the exact figures were non shared by The Economic Times.

Amazon also has a relatively faster growth charge per unit compared to Flipkart. While the Indian due east-commerce visitor grew at 47%, Amazon India grew very chop-chop at an 82% rate. Still, Flipkart still leads when information technology comes to revenue generated (profit from selling appurtenances). While Amazon had a revenue of $3.2 billion in the past financial year, Flipkart was able to amass $3.8 billion.

Further, despite an infusion of $16 billion into Flipkart's business past Walmart earlier this year, Amazon is projected to have a GMV of $11.2 billion in the current fiscal while Flipkart is projected to stay at $8.7 billion, which is approximately 30% less than the United states of america company.

The study as well highlights that with the growth in net user base, the number of due east-commerce users is likely to get doubled from 80-ninety meg in 2017 to 180-200 million 2020. The respective increase in financial terms translates to Barclays' projection nigh the Indian e-commerce market reaching $40-45 billion past over the next ii years.

Lastly, Flipkart might too continue to have a retarded growth because of the extensive restructuring, divergence of both co-founders, and a cut-down on the Jabong workforce before information technology is merged with Myntra.
