Market Position

Leading commerce-focused DSP and retail media platform, differentiated by its proprietary Shopper Graph and extensive retail data partnerships

Overview

Criteo Commerce Max is the demand-side platform (DSP) offering from Criteo, a global technology company specializing in commerce media. Commerce Max enables brands, agencies, and retailers to activate advertising campaigns across Criteo's Commerce Media Platform, which connects advertisers to premium retail media inventory alongside open internet supply. It leverages Criteo's proprietary Shopper Graph — one of the largest commerce-focused identity graphs in the world — to deliver highly relevant ads based on actual shopping intent and purchase behavior signals. The platform consolidates multiple advertising objectives into a single interface, allowing advertisers to run retargeting campaigns to re-engage past site visitors, customer acquisition campaigns to reach new high-intent shoppers, and retail media campaigns to appear on retailer websites and apps. Commerce Max is powered by advanced machine learning models trained on trillions of shopping events, enabling precise audience targeting, dynamic creative optimization, and real-time bidding across display, native, and video formats. Criteo occupies a significant position in the commerce media ecosystem, competing with major DSPs and retail media networks. The company is publicly traded on NASDAQ and serves thousands of brands and agencies globally. Commerce Max represents Criteo's strategic pivot from a pure retargeting vendor to a full-funnel commerce media platform, positioning it against players like The Trade Desk, Amazon DSP, and Epsilon while differentiating through its unique retail data partnerships and closed-loop measurement capabilities.
