Why Walmart Is a Must-Have Channel for E-Commerce Sellers in 2026

According to Marketplace Pulse's report on Walmart marketplace seller growth, Walmart added 44,000 new sellers in the first five months of 2025 alone. Data from Red Stag Fulfillment's Walmart seller statistics reveals that active third-party merchants now exceed 200,000, with international cross-border sellers making up ~34%.

Meanwhile, Walmart is expanding its marketplace model into Canada and Mexico under a "build once, sell globally" strategy. Per ECDB's Walmart revenue and GMV data, Canadian marketplace GMV reached $12.5 billion in 2025, up 24% year-over-year.

Dimension	Amazon	Walmart Marketplace
3P GMV Share	~69% (Highly saturated)	~10% (Early-stage expansion window)
Seller Ecosystem	Massive scale, rising ad costs	Lower acquisition costs, favorable seller policies
Fulfillment Impact	Standard FBA infrastructure	WFS adoption yields an average 50% GMV boost

As noted in Digital Commerce 360's coverage of the Sellers Summit, Walmart introduced deeper seller analytics and omnichannel store integration tools. With Walmart Marketplace's official growth incentives, merchants leveraging WFS experience noticeable conversion lifts. Now is the ideal window for sellers to capture market share.
