In a global comparison, Amazon ranks No. 5 on list of popular shopping apps.
Temu and Shein took the top spots for the most popular global shopping apps in 2024, according to a study from Setapp, a membership of curated apps.
Setapp ranked the apps based on the number of global consumer downloads in 2023, average user ratings and overall user satisfaction. The service provider used APIs from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store and analytics from Business of Apps and Appfigures to gather data.
The top 15 most popular shopping apps are:
- Temu
- Shein
- Mercado Libre
- Meesho
- Shopee
- Amazon
- Walmart
- eBay
- Etsy
- Best Buy
- AliExpress
- Wish
- Walmart Grocery
- Target
- Vinted
Temu ranks so highly likely because of its sophisticated AI recommendation algorithm that analyzes the time a shopper spends looking at a product, switching between products, among other metrics to show shoppers highly relevant product recommendations tailored to them, said Maria Bohdanovska, marketing expert at Set App.
“Coupled with a well-designed interface, a diverse product range, and competitive prices, Temu is now competing with shopping giants like Amazon and Shein, even though it only launched in 2022,” Bohdanovska said.
In 2023, Temu generated 274 million downloads, nearly one hundred million more than Amazon’s 195 million downloads.
