The variety of local options or other global powerhouses has been increasing these past few years, hurting Amazon&#8217;s ambitions of being the everything store for the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three other things that stand out to me when looking over this chart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Europe is the only region to not have a global ecommerce marketplace as its top app. <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8080916997\/about\">Vinted<\/a> is a consumer to consumer marketplace, specializing in vintage clothing. The company raised $303M at a valuation of $4.5B in May of last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8080812778\/about\">SHEIN<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.apptopia.com\/shein-accelerates-app-growth\">dominant fast fashion player<\/a> and now general ecommerce juggernaut, has landed in the #2 spot in four out of the five regions we&#8217;ve showcased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8080320573\/about\">Nike<\/a> is the only direct to consumer brand to make any of these five top charts, coming in as the sixth most downloaded Shopping app in the United States. The company has strategically focused on increasing its digital presence, including other apps in its portfolio such as <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8080993433\/about\">Nike SNKRS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large apptopia__blog--img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/AR-XRAY-Tag@2x-1-1024x724.webp\" alt=\"Augmented Reality in Retail Apps\" class=\"wp-image-878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/AR-XRAY-Tag@2x-1-1024x724.webp 1024w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/AR-XRAY-Tag@2x-1-300x212.webp 300w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/AR-XRAY-Tag@2x-1-768x543.webp 768w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/AR-XRAY-Tag@2x-1-1536x1086.webp 1536w, https:\/\/apptopia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/AR-XRAY-Tag@2x-1.webp 1592w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the major trends we detail in the <a href=\"https:\/\/engage.apptopia.com\/retail-landscape-benchmark-2022\">report<\/a> is the rise of augmented reality in shopping apps.Referencing Apptopia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/x-ray-intelligence\">X-Ray dataset<\/a>, we see a dramatic increase in the number of Shopping apps deploying augmented reality tools into their mobile apps. Companies like <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/ios\/app\/1107693363\/about\">Warby Parker<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8090364477\/about\">Sephora<\/a> are enabling shoppers to virtually try on products to see how they look before purchasing. This increases time spent in-app and confidence in making a buying decision for the shopper. Furniture companies like Ikea and <a href=\"https:\/\/apptopia.com\/unified\/app\/8090304337\/about\">Wayfair<\/a> are also using AR so shoppers can visualize what a new couch might look like in their family room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-horizontal is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5f0daa91 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#f1f6ff;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color\" style=\"color:#3f89ff;font-size:20px\">Add to cart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fdcfc74e wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color has-background has-border-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.apptopia.com\/cs\/c\/?cta_guid=eebf8c0a-97eb-4b85-80d5-2a115bb74bed&amp;signature=AAH58kHe3D6VKLmfWGyQQ8uWvqcT3FUziQ&amp;pageId=64350304028&amp;placement_guid=fe543e38-86a6-4a96-adb9-ec23de7f92d6&amp;click=568207cb-64a5-452f-a65d-499e382bf8e9&amp;hsutk=408d291b8749b1ba907eae97ceb5c47c&amp;canon=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.apptopia.com%2Fbenchmarking-the-global-mobile-retailing-landscape&amp;portal_id=2045506&amp;redirect_url=APefjpERD9E8RrCvhhpBmlbtGBPtdVw8LjTRJW4kIS-PBpxmeGdP3xSIVm6vyQ0syKaeOyZh77J7ku-dcl6rSe81V36fb5NtPcJJnE8-j5veX5b0OUNROTVbxO9E6TGj3rRHTtQhg5l1Yf-tkNX3ClDCwFeAqoMnEaXjiwxN5D6-SrZbsvCLTf2W2attHgudcu4xAz7X8NyL5ffDM8dzo63UJQglgus-MOlGLvnYIzrpGMqPyCq9tn4OL99H77N_OznilCIkuPHUiYOf55mrtPGmGLV7cK8IXmg6P6y1iDWM1_eff1-9jYc\" style=\"border-color:#3f89ff;border-width:1px;border-radius:5px;background-color:#3f89ff\">Retail Report<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve just released our new and data-packed report, Benchmarking the Global Mobile Retailing Landscape.
