What is Magento 2
Magento 2 is the best open-source content management system for e-commerce websites, and it was created in 2007. We think it is the best online open-source shopping platform nowadays.
In May 2018, Adobe announced that it would acquire Magento for $1.68 billion and integrate it into Adobe Experience Cloud, its Enterprise CMS platform. The acquisition was finalized on June 19, 2018.
Magento Market Share
According to research conducted by aheadWorks in 2017, Magento’s market share among the 30 most popular e-commerce platforms is about second place, 19-25% ( per segment). Shopify is the leader now( especially for small shops).
- Magento stores increased by 4.5% quarter-over-quarter in 2022 Q4
- Magento has been listed as 1 of the ten leading E-commerce platforms worldwide for 2021.
- More than 270,000 merchants choose the Magento platform for their business.
- Most Magento users are in the US, with 59,739 websites on Magento 1 and 35,906 on Magento 2.
- Currently, Magento powers 1.2% of websites on the Internet.
- Magento handles $155 billion (USD) worth of transactions each year.
This is why our customers choose Magento for their shopping platform and the Digideo e-commerce agency to build, develop, and expand their eCommerce businesses.
