From marketing to after-sales, a handful of players are dominating the game.

๐Ÿ“ข Marketing: Meta and Google still control most of the digital ad spend, but TikTok and retail media (Amazon Ads, Walmart Connect) are growing rapidly. Large platforms thanks to their success/mass reduce significantly their need for Ads and push down this need to their sellers. And now, LLMs are entering this highly concentrated game.

๐Ÿ›’ Front End: Marketplaces like Amazon capture over 60% of global ecommerce GMV (depending a lot on the region), but platforms like Shopify are empowering brands to go D2C.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Order Management: Shopify and BigCommerce are leading the charge, with 40% of mid-market retailers using a single system for all channels.

๐Ÿ”‘ CRM: Salesforce and HubSpot dominate, but vertical-specific tools are gaining traction.

๐Ÿญ Warehousing: Amazon FBA is well known but the overall market is actually extremely fragmented with a lot of medium players serving brands and platforms.

๐Ÿšš Transport: Last-mile delivery is one of the most consolidated layer. In each country, 3 or 4 players account for most of the volume.

๐Ÿ”„ After-Sales: Players like zendesk, Intercom are well known. Although a lot of businesses are still using simple emails and standard CRM tools.

As consolidation continues, businesses face a choice: partner with all-in-one platforms for simplicity or mix best-of-breed tools for flexibility.
