To be specific and in brief:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Wix is the potential contender in the CMS market and is likely to grow its fanbase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Wix market share will also continue to increase in the coming years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Usually, I don’t make statements without any prior analysis or evidence. Hence, to support the above statements, I have mentioned some worthy stats and information about Wix’s market share from various sources and compared it with its leading competitors. Analyzing all the facts and data then I come to some conclusions about its future.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/hr><\/div>\n\n\nWix market share: Wix’s current position<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As per the recent reports by a leading website Builtwith<\/a>, there are currently over 4.5 million live websites using Wix. According to W3techs<\/a> Wix holds the 6th position as the leading content management system in the world, just after Joomla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Wix](\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot_10-3.png\" "\\"\\"")
Wix market share<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nFor many users, Wix’s position on the 4th won’t look great. But it is also important for anyone to compare it with complete user volume. It is simply outranked by some of the leading CMS in the market such as WordPress (1st position), Shopify(2nd position), and Joomla (3rd position). These are the three most popular Content Management systems available and aligning with them is another great deal for any CMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can see in the image above, that the Wix market share on the internet is about 1.8% whereas the Wix market share in the whole CMS is 2.8%, which you cannot neglect, since the internet has billions of websites. Reaching these figures is itself Wix has achieved to outrank some of other popular CMS\/website builders such as Squarespace, Drupal, and Blogger.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/hr><\/div>\n\n\nWhat is Wix is all about?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One of the main questions that anyone might have been confused about, is whether Wix is a website builder or a Content Management System. Wix has both the traits of a Website builder as well as a Content management system and to answer, this particular question is a somewhat kind mixture of both yes and no. Wix works as a Content Management system as it lets users manage their content online. In addition to it, it also enables users to design their website as well, hence also termed as a Website builder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you still want to know the exact answer, then it can only be described as How you are going to use it. But mainly with its simple and very useful tools, people generally consider it as a website builder. This simply means it provides users drag and drop editing tool for website design and creating content, without any knowledge of complex coding\/programming. This is what you will not expect from a complete Content Management service like WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Considering all the above facts, for you to better understand, we are providing you with more data on Wix from a legit source BuiltWith. This online stat and data website is quite useful and provides you insights and market share of various software available on the internet. Similarly, we are providing you with Wix market share in the whole Content Management Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Wix](\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot_11-3.png\" "\\"\\"")
Wix market share among all website builders<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nFrom the above Pie chart, it is clearly visible that Wix is completely dominating the chart by 32%. Wix’s market share outranks even the other leading popular website builders such as Squarespace, Weebly, and GoDaddy Website Builder.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/hr><\/div>\n\n\nFuture of Wix Market Share<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Nobody exactly tells you about what will be the market in the future and What will be the future Wix market share. On the basis of present data and Marketing trends, we can only anticipate what will happen. But one thing we can assure is that Wix’s market share has shown some remarkable growth in the past few years and will continue at the same speed in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When considering Wix’s past data, in the year 2013 Wix market share was less than 0.1% of CMS’s market share. But in 2016 Wix market share turned out to be 0.2% of CMS’s market share, which doubled in just a span of three years. This is quite an impressive result, especially for a CMS which is new in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the same year, Wix’s market share reached 0.3% and rose to 0.4% of the CMS market. This shows a slow but steady growth of the Wix market share. But the turning point came in the year 2019, in which Wix’s market share crossed the 1.0% market share mark, in 2020 it reached 1.3% and in October 2021 it reached 1.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can refer to the below table shows historical trends in the usage of content management systems since Jan 2011<\/a>. from which we have made an analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Historical](\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot_12-3-1024x349.png\" "\\"\\"")
Wix market share from the year 2011<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe above graph shows historical yearly trends in the usage statistics of content management systems since Jan 2011. You can see Wix has steady and consistent growth. In fact, if everything goes well and continues at the same usage rate, Wix’s market share will also expand at the same rate. It would be interesting to look forward to how it performs in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/hr><\/div>\n\n\nWix market share Comparison with its competitors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As far now, from the above graphs and tables, you can conclude that Wix’s market share has shown steady growth. But what about comparing Wix with its competitors? How does it appear when you compare its popularity with other leading CMS or website builders?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the above statistics which show usage statistics of the content management systems, you can see how several popular platforms have shown a decline with certain points in their growth rate. For instance from the year 2018 to 2021, Drupal and Joomla have shown some drastic decrease in their growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whereas, in the same time span, Wix gained popularity from 0.4% to 1.8%. Though Wix is still not at the top of the list the results show it has a high potential to become one of the leaders of the Website builder market. However, it is also to be noted that not all platforms are quite the same. In our other posts, we have already compared different CMS\/website builders and differentiated between them. Such as Wix vs Squarespace or Wix vs WordPress. But some CMS like Shopify and Magento are e-commerce-oriented builders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now first, let us compare the two leading competitors Wix vs Squarespace. Both platforms provide user-friendly Website builder tools with the help of which you can design different types of websites. Hence, the best tool to compare both platforms across the web is Google Trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Wix](\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screenshot_13-3-1024x509.png\" "\\"\\"")
Wix market share: Wix vs Squarespace<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nFrom the above graph generated using Google Trends, you can see how people are showing interest in both platforms from 2019 to 2021. During this time, Wix is consistently going ahead of the Squarespace and it seems it will continue the same flow. If everything goes well and the graph continues like that, a time will definitely come when Squarespace Market will end and Wix will turn out to be a new leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wix knows better how to do marketing. You must have seen their advertisements in your TV ads, celebrity endorsements, YouTube ads, banner ads, and many more areas. They just want to cover a wide area of the audience. all these efforts didn’t go in vain and Wix ended up holding their position in the top list of Best website builders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
