Magento,
an eBay Enterprise company, today announced tremendous momentum across
the Magento ecosystem, growing to more than 240,000 businesses across
the Enterprise and Community Editions; a 60 percent increase since last
year’s Imagine Conference. Magento also boasts the largest open-source
commerce ecosystem of more than 2,800 certified developers and 260
proven system integrators worldwide.
Magento’s growth and power in the market have been featured in recent
reports:
-
Magento has doubled the number of merchants featured in the Internet
Retailer Top 500 Guide, leapfrogging competitors with 34 customers.
-
Magento now powers 26 percent of all ecommerce sites in the Alexa top
one million sites list; more than any other ecommerce platform.
-
For the fourth consecutive year, Magento remains the most popular
platform on the market, with a 34 percent increase in online retail
sites since last year, according to a recent study
by Tom Robertshaw.
-
Magento has increased penetration in key markets with a 45 percent
share in Australia, 42 percent share in the U.K., 30 percent share
in France and a 26 percent share in Germany.
“Merchants who do their homework select Magento because they know
they’ll get rapid deployment and the lowest total cost of ownership in
the industry,” said Mark Lavelle, head of global product and strategy,
eBay Enterprise. “Magento’s great out-of-the box experience provides
ultimate brand control and flexibility, and a scalable, robust
feature-set designed for enterprise merchants. We make the decision
easy, and our performance in the Internet Retailer 500 Guide proves it.”
“Tapping into the flexibility of the Magento Enterprise Edition for
Munchkin’s direct-to-consumer web store helped facilitate a multichannel
customer experience and is helping to establish Munchkin.com
as the go-to consumer destination for Munchkin product research, content
and new discovery. We are now activating campaigns offered through eBay
Enterprise Marketing Solutions,” said Jonathan Bradbury, director of
global ecommerce, Munchkin. “The ability to add new commerce solutions
across the portfolio, as our business grows, is a great testament to the
scalability offered by Magento and eBay Enterprise.”
Magento will bring together customers, partners, open source community
enthusiasts, developers, industry experts and thought leaders from 40+
countries for its annual Imagine ecommerce conference from May 12
through 14 at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. Attendees will learn
about the latest inspirations, technologies, techniques, and strategies
transforming ecommerce.
The conference will offer keynotes by bestselling author Malcolm
Gladwell, PayPal President David Marcus, eBay Enterprise SVP of Product
