About
About Ecommerce Atlas
Ecommerce Atlas is an independent research site tracking the worldwide ecommerce market: landscape, regions, platforms and periodic snapshots. Every figure is sourced.
What this site does
Ecommerce Atlas tracks global ecommerce: overall size and forecasts, Top-5 platform maps for 10 regions, cross-region platform comparison, and quarterly / semi-annual / annual snapshots. Content is organised as Global, Regions, Platforms and Reports, sitting on the underlying research documents so every number can be traced to a source. Global · Regions · Platforms · Reports · Research notes
Method and definitions
Sources: eMarketer · ECDB · Momentum Works · company filings · official statistics · authoritative media, graded A/B/C by reliability. Institutes differ on what “ecommerce sales” means (retail ecommerce vs total GMV; whether services and travel are included). Every key figure is labelled with source and year; disagreements are shown side by side. See the two independent source-audit reports. Global report · source audit · Top-5 platforms report · source audit.

Globegraphy does not invent market-size figures. We compile cited sources, grade them A/B/C, flag definition conflicts inline, and publish the audit trail. The methodology hub is Global data sources & methodology, European ecommerce market and the regional market maps are Middle East ecommerce market.
