Research

Since 2014 RetailX has been researching the performance of over 100,000 D2C selling sites, assessing over 300 metrics and billions of data points, from which we analyse and rank the top-performing retailers and brands.

Initially our research was to support editorial output (and our Market, Sector and Performance Reports are still the high water mark for commercial analysis and benchmarking). However we now off direct access to the data to subscribers, RXPro members and clients.
