Description
This ranking depicts the leading 100 American retailers in 2021,
based on U.S. retail sales. Once again, Walmart was the leading
American retailer. That year, the company accounted for retail sales
of about 460 billion U.S. dollars.

Walmart was founded by Samuel Moore Walton (1918-1992) in

1962. Walmart's headquarters is situated in Bentonville, Arkansas
and operates worldwide under different names (such as Walmex in
Mexico and Best Price in India).

Leading retailers in the United States

Although Walmart is the unequivocal front-running retailer in terms

of U.S. retail sales, Amazon.com inches closer each and every
year. The retail industry is in the midst of a customer revolution.
The collision of the virtual and physical worlds is fundamentally
changing consumers' purchasing behaviors. Consumers are
seeking an integrated shopping experience across all channels and
expect retailers to deliver this experience. The key drivers of this
customer revolution are the rapid adoption of mobile devices, digital
media and tablets equipped with shopping apps. In fact, the
number of smartphone users in the United States was about 300
million in 2021. In other words, nearly the entire country's
population now uses smartphones.

As such, the retail paradigm has shifted from a physical connection

point with customers to a multi-pronged approach that crosses both
physical and digital channels. The traditional brick-and-mortar retail
store is no longer the dominant medium for purchasing all types of
goods. Instead, it serves as one of many potential connection
points between customers and a retailer's brand.

Today's consumer is increasingly connected to both the physical

and digital space and able to interact with retailers through multiple
channels simultaneously. To stay competitive in this ever-evolving
landscape, it is imperative for retailers to deliver a seamless
customer experience across all channels and provide the right
services and products at the right time.
