The State of Magento in 2023

Updated Mar 24 2023

Magento is an open-source ecommerce platform that allows merchants to customize the entire shopping experience. The company behind Magento was acquired by Adobe in May 2018. Adobe provides a hosted version of Magento (called Magento Commerce Cloud) but you can also host your Magento store on a variety of other platforms or even on your own servers.

In this report, we'll cover the following essential statistics on Magento usage.

Magento Store Top-level Domain Distribution

.com is the most popular top-level domain for Magento stores. This is not surprising since alternate top-level domains have only been introduced somewhat recently and there is still a certain cachet associated with .com domains.

That said, you'll find stark regional differences in certain countries. In Australia, .com.au is the most common top-level domain with .com a close second. This is the exception however as .com domains dominate in virtually all other countries.

  • 45.3% of Magento stores have a .com domain.
  • 5.3% of Magento stores have a .de domain.
  • 5.1% of Magento stores have a .co.uk domain.
