How can I make a profit selling on Amazon Business?

Amazon Business is increasingly becoming the e-commerce choice for millions of customers around the world. Sellers on the Amazon Business marketplace leverage the huge volume of traffic from business and retail customers alike to drive new sales. You can grow your business by taking advantage of the visibility that comes with selling on Amazon, and expand your customer base to the millions of organizations buying on Amazon Business.

Exceptional reach, rapid growth

Since we opened in 2015, Amazon Business has grown rapidly. In our first year of operation, we recorded $1 billion in sales. Today, we project more than $10 billion in annualized global sales, and 50% of those sales come from third-party sellers like you.

In 2018, we expanded the Amazon Business global marketplace to eight countries:

• France
• Italy
• Spain
• United States
• Germany
• United Kingdom
• Japan
• India

In the United States alone, we’ve experienced rapid growth. Today more than 150,000 businesses sell on the Amazon Business marketplace.

Their customers include 55 of the Fortune 100 companies, more than half of the 100 biggest hospital systems, 80 of the 100 largest educational organizations, and more than 40 of the 100 most populous local governments.

Business buyers are already on Amazon

A recent Forrester survey revealed that 92% of B2B buyers use Amazon to research purchases for work and 82% of business buyers make work purchases on Amazon.com.* These professional customers are already comfortable shopping from sellers on Amazon. As a business seller, you can give them the selection, convenience, and security of the Amazon experience, but with features and pricing tailored to their business needs. Remember—you can sell to consumers on Amazon and to professional buyers on Amazon Business.

Leveraging e-commerce expertise

By using the e-commerce expertise of Amazon, you avoid the cost, hassle, and overhead of setting up your own online B2B e-commerce site and driving awareness and traffic to your site. The leading cloud security developed by Amazon helps you protect your business data and customer information more effectively and affordably.
