Here are some of the more impressive Etsy stats and facts I’ve been able to dig up recently. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.
Etsy was started about 13 years ago, but has come on strong over the past few years as the visual web has come into its own. Etsy has become the go-to ecommerce site for all things handmade and artists and craftspeople from all walks of life have found success selling their products on its platform.
Etsy’s success has not shown any signs of slowing down, so I decided it was time to dedicate a stat post just to them.
