Edit: It's GuitarGuitar that makes up the trifecta with Andertons & PMT.
Gear4Music is publicly traded so they may have their numbers available.
When looking around for my first electric a few months ago the most popular sites appeared to be Andertons, Guitar Guitar, GAK, Gear 4 Music, Thomann (although that's Ireland), Bax, Dawsons
But in terms of volume sold, I would guess at Amazon
PMT
Andertons
GAK
Peach
Dawsons
Gear4Music
Absolue Music
Coda
GuitarGuitar
Reidy's
But with a healthy turnover include
Guitar Village
Promenade Music
Mansons
Red Dog
Richtone
Soundaffects
Will be a few others but can't recall immediately
Take into account some of these are dedicated guitars stores like Peach and Coda, others sell hitech, pa, drums etc as well
5 years, like it seemed to happen so regularly in the preceding 20 years
I suspect the UK businesses have done well out of the poor pound and Brexit as thomann were looking huge in terms of online presence and the cheapest option for many things but they aren't as competitive here anymore.
Was owned for a while by the same venture capitalist/group that owned ToysRUs
Need to update a bit as still unsure if they still own Musicians Friend that use to be the mail order arm of GC
