Affiliate Marketing Industry Statistics 2020

Interesting stats, thanks. In average how many products or companies do people promote at the same time? In average how many niches do people promote?

Good stats everyone should know. I bookmarked this page.

Hi Ray, I am intrigued by the statistics you showed me here. This looks like the affiliate market worldwide is becoming ever competitive and making it more difficult even for experienced marketers to carry on without learning new technologies to techniques? If so will there ever be passive income? What is your experience, Ray? I know you have been in this industry for many years but is it becoming easier or harder?

Great article! I have been recently trying to make money from affiliate marketing but I find everything so difficult. Your statistics all make sense to me. It makes me think that I have to try harder to get on the \success ladder\ like every one else.
Thanks for your awesome article!

Hi Ray, very useful statistics. I was interested because I thought the number of affiliate marketers from certain countries in Africa was increasing from my own Facebook experience. I get so many invitation messages from new affiliates who all say easy and amazing and all. They are clearly new and believe instant money.
Also they seem to be sending messages from a mobile device which is also interesting. Your stats make sense accordingly. Thanks for the great article.

This article helps me a lot. I have never been to America and I don’t know it over there. but in Kenya there are too many people try affiliating with all kinds of systems. I saw the paper say it will become very popular in the next 2 to 3 years.

I love this article. I’m fascinated by all the affiliate marketing industry statistics because I need to know how competitive what I’m doing right now is to continue and make it successful or not. I have seen many other blogs but not very many of them tell you current statistics and this one helps me. I would love an opinion on other industries from an expert I just want to know if it is really worth investing time or not.

I think some of the data is missing. How about sales funnels vs squeeze pages etc, what kind of affiliate marketers are there in the industry, I want to know what are they promote?

The statistics are staggering. I’m amazed to see over 8 billion affiliate marketers strive to make money in the world. It’s very popular in France where I’m originally from but many of them are scammers which is becoming problematic. Also I have some friends in America who have left their job and moved to Mexico for lower living cost and to make money from home solely as an affiliate.

Impressive statistics. I have been trying affiliate marketing for a few years now and I find it increasingly difficult to promote anything nowadays as it becomes so competitive. Things like the speed of the site or modern design are crucial. Giving free gifts to entice customers are becoming the norm. I’m guessing more people are starting to work online full time so they have more time to focus on. While people like me trying to spend our spare time are being left behind. That’s what I feel like right now.

Good to know about popular affiliate networks. I’ve never heard of Viglink, I must check that in a minute. Thanks for the useful data.

I’m looking for the most up to date statistics.
Some of your stats are based on data from 2+ years ago. You need to update it to show the true figures.

Interesting statistics. I was particularly interested in the trends: it went popular a couple of years ago and peaked in the USA while it’s still going up worldwide. Where I live in Europe it’s becoming really popular. I think the trends shown here are accurate.

This post shows great statistics. I can make use of them to build new websites.
I have bookmarked this site for the future. Thanks.

Hi Ray, I found your statistics really interesting. The currencies are falling and many things are uncertain economically, politically and environmentally. We never know what’s going to happen with employment conditions in this country. I definitely see affiliate marketing is a way forward for me to secure my future financially.

I also think I can make good use of the market shares of affiliate networks so that I can only focus on products from popular networks. I think it’s most useful for me. Thanks for the great post.

How can I turn affiliate marketing into cash? I need an immediate solution. I have lost so much money for some unfortunate circumstances. Things are becoming difficult both publicly and privately. I appreciate your advice.

This is a very useful information. Well done to you for composing this. I receive a lot of questions from my team about this kind of statistics from the fear of losing their prospects. In essence what they need is numbers for assurance.

There are other sites like Statistica but they charge to view and also not all the results are available. That’s why invidisual sites like yours come in useful for people with no budget. With great insights I would recommend your page to anyone.

I find it very interesting, Ray. I am over 50 years old. Over half a century I didn’t even know what affiliate marketing meant, until recently. it proves that more and more people are aware of the way to make a full time income. We never know where the world economy is heading at, we all seek for better ways to earn income relying on retailers. Thank you for your statistics. I will bookmark this page. Kristine

Hey Ray, great stats. I’m intrigued by the fact that the affiliate industry is growing so much. Is there a ceiling, I guess it will saturate at some point in the future, do you think? It will not make any sense if every person becomes an affiliate, percentage of every product becomes an affiliate commission which pushes the prices up. Interesting to see what it’s going in the future. Good job on gathering info, Ray. Cheers.

Great stats. The growth chart is particularly interesting for me because it shows how competitive this industry is becoming. I guess you have to catch up with new trends +algorithms at all times to stay active as an affiliate. Thank you.

Why is fashion so popular do you know? Fashion as in clothing or as in trends…is biased.

Hi Ray, thank you for the very useful statistics. They show how widely available affiliate marketing is now and how easy for everyone to give a try.

Your website suggests as if affiliate marketing is the only way to make money but it is not. You encourage people to become scammers but what most important is they need to understand online businesses before they learn to become affiliates.
This is lacking from your website.

Great stats. I’d like to know other areas such as
– Which countries have the most affiliate marketers
– Which countries have more buyers and how much they spend
– What kind of products sell the most just like the affiliate network comparison.
Thanks

Hi Ray, this is a very good insight with some surprising stats. As a struggling business owner they almost make me think I have to have affiliates as the way of moving forward. The thing is I don’t know if there is a way for an ecommerce to take affiliates like Amazon to pay commission on numerous products. This is something I’m gonna have to research and sort out in the future. Any ideas? Thanks for the interesting stats. I like the ‘animated percentages.

Interesting stats. My friend from Hong Kong says that the popularity of affiliate marketing is increasing in amazing speed but he thinks it’s becoming saturated because almost all his friends are involved. Clearly not the case. Maybe it’s the big China that’s affecting the stats worldwide.
