I have no idea one way or the other, but I wonder how less fragmented the US market is? For some things, sure, an extremely common language and some other things etc etc.
However, having traveled around a lot of the US, and a good portion of EU, my instinct is that the US is pretty fragmented too when it comes to a whole lot of things.
Regional cultural differences in the US can be really strong. Though maybe that doesn't affect markets as much as EU with probably more diverse cultures and certainly more diversity of languages.
Anyway, really interesting to think about! Maybe I'll research it sometime.

Different languages mean the large majority of a countries population is largely culturally isolated from its neighbors. No one watches a pan-european news channel, read a pan-european newspaper or browse a pan-european website. They don't exist. Different way of doing business, different mindsets, different world view, different media systems, different politics and different economic markets and conditions.

- bausshf 8y agoThis. Netflix is a good example of how it's very different. The price of Netflix may be totally different in every country in Europe, because the cost of living etc. is different. In the US the price of Netflix is the same regardless of what state you live in. That's just a small example. Yes each state has different regulations, taxing etc. too, but overall they're mostly the same. In Europe everything is different, the cost of living, the language, the culture etc. and thus you cannot have a product with the same price in every European country (Well you can, but most likely you wouldn't!)
