In the territory of e-commerce giant Amazon, B2B business is quietly changing the pattern of the global procurement market with its unique charm and strong strength. On April 13, 2023, Amazon officially announced that its B2B business sales reached an astonishing $35 billion.

From birth to development: the growth path of Amazon's B2B business

Since its launch in 2015, Amazon's B2B business has quickly attracted the attention of many corporate buyers with its positioning as a procurement and wholesale platform based on the supply of core products.

Importance Highlighted: Digitalization Demand in the SME Procurement Market

Amazon's business director pointed out that small and medium-sized enterprises around the world spend trillions of dollars on supply chains every year.
