Inside Walmart Connect as retail media, CTV convergence accelerates
"Advertising has been one of the areas of our business that has changed the most, or better said, the impact or influence from that has changed our P&L the most,"
"As we've gained share, advertisers, they want to follow the eyeballs. And so we've done really well in advertising."
"Walmart Connect has expanded from performance-based media to full-funnel solutions, focusing on new experiences across all customer touch points,"
"We've made significant strides in aligning and optimizing our advertising technology platforms, streamlining efficiency and expanding top-of-funnel opportunities for advertisers."
Retail media is forecast to grow about 20% in 2025 as advertisers increasingly rely on retailers' first-party data to reach consumers closer to the point of sale. Walmart Connect grew 33% in the U.S. last quarter, outpacing Walmart's overall sales growth by six times and, with membership fees, representing about a third of operating income. Walmart reaches 150 million customers weekly via app and stores and can reach 95% of the U.S. with same-day delivery. Walmart's 4,600 stores, investments in measurement, and connected-TV capabilities are expanding full-funnel advertising solutions and top-of-funnel opportunities.
