July 17, 2018
The question of Amazon.com becoming the largest seller of clothing in the U.S. has more been a matter of when than if for a few years. According to eMarketer, Amazon’s clothing and accessories business will grow by 38 percent to reach $40 billion by the end of 2018. If that forecast proves true, apparel will represent more than 15 percent of Amazon’s total online sales.
