There are more than twenty-six million e-commerce websites in the world and more are being created daily. Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of e-commerce websites has more than doubled since 2021, increasing from 9.7 million to 19 million sites in one year, which is a 204% growth.

The countries with the most e-commerce websites include the United States with 9.5 million e-commerce websites, the United Kingdom with 850,000 sites and Germany with 460,000 sites. Shopify has proven to be the number one choice for e-commerce website design and development with over fifteen per cent of the market share, followed by WooCommerce and Squarespace.

There has been a thirty-nine per cent increase in the number of e-commerce websites in 2022 when compared to last year. There has been an explosion in demand over the past two years and now there are more than twenty-six million e-commerce websites operating throughout the world.

The coronavirus pandemic changed how people purchase products and services, transforming online commerce and forcing businesses to rely on the internet, rather than relying on their physical stores alone. The United Kingdom alone has more than 850.000 e-commerce sites, with demand having increased by almost fifty-five per cent in 2022. There was a 211% increase in e-commerce websites in 2021.
