The most successful retailers, both now and in the future, will operate third-party marketplaces. Between 2022 and 2027, data forecasts that third-party marketplaces will be the largest and fastest-growing retail channel globally. The four largest global marketplace leaders of today– Amazon, Alibaba, Pinduoduo and JD.com–all operate growing third-party marketplaces.
