Digital world technologies fights and challenges are never-ending competitions. All competitors try to take over other challengers that people consider an alternative in their consideration. However, the E-commerce industry is not behind these fights. E-commerce giants, Walmart and Amazon are in constant competition. Moreover, other constant rivalries are Costco, Walgreens, Kroger, and Home Depot. 

Based on their serious efforts, they reached the phase where they can beat, compete, and challenge any retailer industry without any decrement. Other reviews on these retailers can be found in uk.collected.reviews. But most of the parallel competition in this context is between Amazon and Walmart.
