Mirakl have announced the company generated $135 million in Annual Recurring Revenue in 2022. This growth is consistent with the last three years compound growth of around 40%. A record number of leading brands joined Mirakl’s customer roster and launched new Mirakl marketplaces worldwide last year, including B&Q, Lyreco, Macy’s, Sonepar and Superdrug.
While most brands will want their partners to be running robust businesses, Mirakl’s profits aren’t of direct interest. What matters and is important is that Mirakl’s growth demonstrates that there is huge appetite for brands and retailers to diversify and double down on their website investments by opening marketplaces.
This success is evidence of the rapid global adoption of platform business models and the continued growth of the marketplace category that Mirakl created and definitively leads, with ∼$6 billion transacted on marketplace and dropship through Mirakl Platform last year (+43% year-over-year).

One Response
I started out using Mirakl years ago. It has definitely ballooned with the amount of marketplaces it has available. Sadly not so much in the UK certainly in my sector anymore. Used to be great got me away from Amazon and a lot of eBay but that was when we had the EU.
I used to find the retailers who used them however did not last long. Game, shopto, Coolshop,Wupti, all sites I used never lasted long and they shut their sites off at a moment’s notice, that Coolshop left me with thousands in stock I bought for it. Integrations were always a pain.
