The State of Magento in 2024

Updated Sep 27 2024

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.

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.

  • 43.7% of Magento stores have a .com domain.
  • 5.5% of Magento stores have a .de domain.
  • 4.3% of Magento stores have a .co.uk domain.
