American e-commerce website, Etsy had a huge 2020 in which it set a company record for revenue. The e-commerce sector, in general, grew tremendously in 2020 as the pandemic forced people to completely alter their shopping habits. As a result, Etsy crossed the billion-dollar revenue mark for the first time in company history after a staggering YoY increase. According to data presented by Buyshares.co.za, Etsy experienced a 110.75% YoY increase in revenue in 2020 after setting a company record $1.7B in revenue.
Etsy More Than Doubled Its Revenue In 2020
Etsy was founded in June 2005 and has its headquarters in Brooklyn, New York. The site is an e-commerce platform that specializes in handmade or vintage products as well as crafts and DIY supplies. In 2019, Etsy recorded 46.35M active buyers on their site, a figure that grew by almost 77% in 2020 to 81.9M. The number of sellers also grew by an impressive 61.7% YoY to 81.9M in 2020.
The influx of new customers was a direct result of lockdowns that were imposed in many developed markets around the world, especially in its main country of operations, the USA. As a result, Etsy dramatically increased its revenue in 2020 and crossed the milestone billion-dollar mark for the first time on its way to a company record, $1.7B in revenue. This is just under a billion-dollar increase and an over 110% YoY increase from 2019.
