Etsy’s shares have outperformed Amazon’s this year, with gross merchandise sales projected to rise in the low single digits for 2026 after four years of decline. Despite trading 77% off its peak, Etsy is focused on enhancing its platform using AI to improve user engagement, although it faces challenges related to macroeconomic factors and a 3.2% year-over-year decline in repeat buyers.
In contrast, Amazon dominates the e-commerce space with nearly 2.1 billion visitors in April 2026, accounting for 40% of U.S. online shopping.
