Analysts project that Amazon.com Inc. is on track to surpass Walmart Inc. in annual revenue for the first time, a landmark event in the retail sector. Projections estimate Amazon's total revenue for 2025 will reach $691.3 billion, exceeding Walmart's forecasted $681 billion for its fiscal year ending in January 2026. This milestone highlights the sustained shift towards e-commerce and the increasing market power of technology giants. The anticipated change at the top of the retail hierarchy follows years of rapid expansion by Amazon. The company has consistently closed the revenue gap with Walmart, driven by a compound annual growth rate of approximately 20% in recent years. While both retailers reported strong results in the last quarter, Amazon's consistent high-growth trajectory is set to redefine the industry's leadership.
