I find it pretty hard to believe that Amazon only takes 6.5% of toy sales in the United States.pic.twitter.com/nwwVpRDuLH

These e-commerce penetration stats are all over the map. Maybe I'm out of touch, maybe people have no idea how to properly count online vs. offline purchases.pic.twitter.com/w4CBOTP4d6

This is US census data. E-commerce at 10.7% as a percentage of total sales is reasonable given that it includes, auto sales, grocery, gasoline, luxury, convenience, etc. (all huge categories e-commerce doesn't have much penetration on). https://www2.census.gov/retail/releases/historical/ecomm/19q2.pdf …pic.twitter.com/pghBiTlGI0

71.17% of retail sales are cars, food and beverage, grocery, restaurant, warehouse clubs, gasoline, building materials, health and personal care, pharmacies, etc. This is why e-commerce is at 10% of total sales.pic.twitter.com/iHv8bvUwCI

All data is from here. So when Amazon says "we're only 4-5% of total retail sales" it's technically true, but it grossly underestimates their market share and power, as everyone intuitively understands from their behavior and ubiquity. https://www.census.gov/retail/mrts/www/benchmark/2018/html/annrev18.html …

Oh it's by revenue. Easy explanation - college bookstore sales may not count as online, if you count school textbooks etc most book sales are "offline" by *dollar value* even if consumers are mostly reading on Kindle or buying paperbacks from Amazon.Thanks.
