The Largest E-shops in the Czech Republic: Complete Ranking

Presenting the ranking of the 100 largest e-shops in the Czech Republic! Together with CzechCrunch, we compiled a list of top e-shops ranked by revenue generated in the Czech Republic. We drew on published data from financial statements as well as qualified estimates based on website traffic, search engine positions, review counts, interviews with e-shop operators, and many other relevant factors, including external statistical sources.

According to APEK data, approximately 197 billion CZK flows through Czech e-commerce annually, which is already a significant portion of commerce in the Czech Republic. But who are the biggest players in this market? Which e-shops have the highest revenue from goods sales in the Czech Republic? And how do you arrive at these numbers when not all companies publish their financial statements or distinguish them by country and revenue source? Peťo Brejčák from CzechCrunch came to us with a big challenge: Despite all of this, compile a ranking of the 100 largest e-shops in the Czech Republic.

Together, we spent several weeks refining our methodology. It involves a combination of thorough research and expert estimates. For each e-shop, we verified the availability of financial statements and supplemented them with additional indicators that we collect at BizMachine and that can indicate financial situation. These include data on website traffic, search engine positions, number of user reviews, and many others. This information helped us determine the approximate value of revenue from goods sales on the Czech online market.

Of course, we were aware that our numbers might not be 100% accurate. For some e-shops, we had to rely on our qualified estimates because they don't have publicly available financial statements or their statements are distorted by various factors, such as international operations or product range diversity. That's why we also consulted our results with leading e-commerce experts who helped us calibrate and verify our data. Our goal was to provide the most reliable and objective view of the Czech e-commerce market.

As we said, not everyone publishes all their data. For the largest market players, the ranking is relatively accurate, but for mid-sized e-shops with revenue below 500 million CZK, the analysis of additional factors and data that we used for our qualified estimates may play a bigger role. However, you're definitely in for interesting reading about the biggest players in the Czech e-commerce market. We wish you enjoyable exploration of our ranking.
