Amazon is almost eight times bigger than number three: Zalando. The top ten is completed by Notebooksbilliger.de, Bon Prix, Media Markt, Cybersport, Conrad, Tchibo and Alternate.

Together, Amazon, OTTO and Zalando account for a turnover of 12 billion euro, which is 44% of the total value of the entire Top 100 altogether.
