    Walmart is one of the world’s largest retailers, with operations in 28 countries and over 11,000 stores. Walmart operates more than 4,700 retail units in the United States and Puerto Rico alone, as well as e-commerce websites in eleven countries.

The company also has wholesale outlets in 15 other countries and joint ventures in China and India. Walmart's international segment includes operations from its subsidiaries: Asda (United Kingdom), Seiyu (Japan), Best Price Modern Wholesale (India) and Walmex (Mexico). In 2019, Walmart reported total net sales of $514.4 billion; 65% of these sales were generated domestically while 35% was attributed to international operations. In addition to revenues from store sales, Walmart earned income from membership fees for Sam’s Club warehouses, rental income from shopping centers owned by the company, interest on debt investments and other miscellaneous revenues sources.

International operations are particularly important for growth due to favorable demographics abroad such as population increases combined with higher purchasing power..

Additionally Walmart is exploring opportunities abroad through acquisitions like Flipkart which would give it access not only India but all of South East Asia where they view tremendous potential for growth..
