History and demographics
Walmart+ was launched on September 15, 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2] Walmart has never shared the total number of subscribers since launching the service.[3][4] In September 2021, Deutsche Bank estimated that 32 million US households held a Walmart+ subscription after reaching an inflection point of growth.[4] Morgan Stanley estimated the number of subscribers to be 16 million in August 2022,[5] and between 17.2 million and 26.5 million in January 2025.[6]
In September 2021, 86% of Walmart+ subscribers also had Amazon Prime subscriptions.[4] Walmart+ and Amazon Prime have similar demographics.[4] In 2021, 61% of Walmart+ subscribers had annual household incomes of $50,000 or more, and 33% earned $100,000 or more anually, compared with 63% and 28% for Prime members, respectively.[4] In February 2024, a Prosper Insights & Analytics survey showed that 60% Walmart+ members were between 18-44 years old, compared to 50% of Amazon Prime members and 46.2% of the US population.[7] In the same survey, 39.8% of Walmart+ households had four or more persons, compared to 32.3% for Amazon.[7]
According to a February 2024 consumer survey, 52.9% of Walmart+ consumers were either confident or very confident in the state of the American economy, compared to 41.6% for Amazon Prime members and 37.6% for Walmart in-store shoppers.[7] Walmart+ shoppers had the highest consumer confidence among shoppers at the top ten retailers on the National Retail Federation's Top 2023 retailers list.[7] Annual subscribers to Walmart+ save an average of $300 per year.[8]
Walmart+ launched in Canada in June 2026 as a rename of its Delivery Pass program, offering free same day delivery, free shipping with no order minimum, and access to video streaming through Crave.[9]
