: Walmart+ will add 10 million members by the end of 2021: UBS

If each of these 10 million members were to spend an incremental $100 per month, it would add $12 billion in additional sales through this channel in a year.

“These members should contribute incremental spend, enabling Walmart to sustain healthy growth from its e-commerce segment,” analysts led by Michael Lasser wrote.

A third of consumers that UBS polled between Sept. 3 and Sept. 8 said they were likely to sign up for the service.

Nearly a quarter of respondents (22%) indicated they shop at a Walmart store more than once a week and 17% shop on the retail giant’s e-commerce site more than once per week.

However, it will cost money to add all of those members. UBS estimates the cost at $200 million to $300 million in 2021.
