Wal-Mart Still Dominates But Faces Slowing Revenue Growth, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

Walmart is the world’s largest retailer, based on revenue, and is the largest corporate employer in the U.S. (more than 2.1 million total employees worldwide).  Outside of America, Walmart has a strong presence in such nations as Mexico, Canada and the UK. 
Walmart, faced with daunting competition from Amazon.com and other ecommerce firms, is investing heavily in its online platform.  Importantly, Walmart acquired online retailer Jet.com in August 2016 for $3.3 billion.  Jet’s capabilities were consolidated with those of Walmart’s online units.  Walmart has also acquired Bonobos, Modcloth.com, Moosejaw, Shoebuy.com and Hayneedle.com, adding unique online merchandising and ecommerce expertise to Walmart’s total enterprise.  The retailer has its own mobile apps, the Walmart Pay mobile payment system and its own cloud services unit.
