# 50 leading online marketplaces in Germany

Tamtam tracks 98 online marketplaces headquartered in Germany. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Delivery Hero, Zalando and AUTO1 Group. Their median headcount is 788. Half of them were founded in 2009 or later. The most common headquarters are Berlin (19), Munich (9) and Hamburg (5).

This selection of large German online marketplaces includes companies specializing in retail and digital services. Among them are Zalando, a platform for fashion and lifestyle, and AUTO1 Group, which focuses on buying and selling used cars. CHECK24 Vergleichsportal GmbH offers comparisons in various sectors, while Awin Global is an affiliate marketing platform. These companies primarily operate in the technology, retail, and service industries, indicating a strong digital commerce presence in Germany.

A notable pattern among these companies is the concentration of headquarters in Berlin and Hamburg. Berlin hosts several significant players like Delivery Hero and AVIV Group, while Hamburg is home to OTTO and Freenow. While many companies were founded in the 2000s and 2010s, established firms like OTTO (1949) and METRO AG (1964) also feature, showcasing a mix of newer digital ventures and older businesses that have adapted to online commerce.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
