Introduction
When it comes to U.S. e-commerce dominance, two giants — Amazon and Walmart — are constantly locked in a pricing battle. Every week, prices change across thousands of categories, from groceries to electronics, influencing consumer choices and brand profitability.
Actowiz Solutions helps retailers, brands, and analysts track this battle in real time through weekly price scraping and analytics — offering insights that go beyond seasonal trends to uncover daily tactical moves.
Why Weekly Price Analytics Matter
While monthly or quarterly data shows the big picture, weekly analytics reveal the battle as it happens:

Amazon vs Walmart – Weekly Price War Patterns
Electronics: Aggressive Discounting on High-Demand Items
Amazon tends to undercut by 3–7% during major tech events like Prime Day, while Walmart counteracts with selective category discounts.
Example: In August 2025, Amazon priced Apple AirPods Pro at $229.99 vs Walmart’s $234.50 — a tactical undercut that drove higher search conversions.
Grocery: Regional Price Optimization
Walmart’s edge lies in regional pricing for groceries. In Midwest states, Walmart underpriced Amazon Fresh by up to 12% for staple items.
Example: Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes was $5.49 on Walmart in Ohio vs $5.99 on Amazon Fresh.
Home Appliances: Price Matching Strategy
Both platforms deploy AI-driven price matching, adjusting prices within 48 hours of a competitor’s change.
Example: Ninja Air Fryer 5.5qt dropped from $119.99 to $99.99 on Amazon; Walmart matched within two days.
Seasonal Trends & Promotions
Weekly scraping reveals flash promotions aligned with seasonal spikes — like back-to-school sales in August and Black Friday previews in October.
Case Study: Weekly Price Shift Impact
Scenario:A popular kitchen appliance brand saw Amazon drop prices by 10% mid-week. Within 72 hours, Walmart matched.
Impact:
- Amazon saw a 17% sales spike before Walmart’s match.
- Walmart recovered volume but lost early conversion advantage.
