Amazon Revenue Statistics
Amazon’s money comes from four engines: the online store, third-party seller services, AWS, and a fast growing ads business. Subscriptions like Prime sit on top and keep buyers locked in.
Here’s how each one performed.
Total Amazon Revenue
1. Amazon generated $716.9 billion in net sales in 2025, up 12% from $638 billion in 2024.
That single year of growth added $78.9 billion in new revenue. For scale, that increase alone is bigger than Starbucks and Netflix combined.
2. Amazon averaged about $1.96 billion in sales per day across 2025.
3. Q4 2025 was Amazon’s biggest quarter ever at $213.4 billion, up 14% year over year.
The growth has compounded for a decade straight:
| Year | Net Revenue |
|---|---|
| 2025 | $716.9 billion |
| 2024 | $638.0 billion |
| 2023 | $574.8 billion |
| 2022 | $514.0 billion |
| 2021 | $469.8 billion |
| 2020 | $386.1 billion |
| 2019 | $280.5 billion |
| 2018 | $232.9 billion |
| 2017 | $177.9 billion |
| 2016 | $136.0 billion |
| 2015 | $107.0 billion |

Amazon Revenue by Segment
4. North America remains the workhorse with $426.3 billion in 2025 sales, up 10% year over year.
5. The International segment grew 13% to $161.9 billion in 2025, Amazon’s fastest growing retail region.
6. AWS contributed 18% of total revenue but a much larger share of profit.
| Segment (FY2025) | Revenue | YoY Growth | Share of Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| North America | $426.3 billion | +10% | 59% |
| International | $161.9 billion | +13% | 23% |
| AWS | $128.7 billion | +20% | 18% |

Amazon Online Store Revenue
7. Amazon’s own online store brought in roughly $269 billion in 2025, still the single largest revenue line.
The company that started as a bookstore now sells more direct retail than Walmart’s entire ecommerce operation, several times over.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Revenue
8. AWS generated $128.7 billion in 2025, up 20% year over year, and grew 24% in Q4 alone.
9. By Q1 2026, AWS hit a $150 billion annualized run rate with 28% growth, its fastest pace in 15 quarters.
10. AWS holds roughly 30% of the global cloud infrastructure market, ahead of Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, per Synergy Research estimates.
Cloud is where the profit lives. AWS produced $14.2 billion in operating income in Q1 2026 alone.
Amazon Advertising Revenue
11. Amazon’s ad business generated $68.5 billion in 2025, up 21.8% year over year.
12. On a trailing twelve month basis, ads passed $70 billion in early 2026, making Amazon the third largest digital ad seller after Google and Meta.
Sellers pay to appear in search results and on product pages. It’s high margin money, and it grows faster than retail.
Subscription Services Revenue
13. Subscriptions, mostly Prime, brought in a record $49.6 billion in 2025, up 11.8%.
That covers Prime, Prime Video, Music, and Kindle Unlimited. The real value isn’t the fee. Prime members shop more often and spend more per order.
Q1 2026 Results (The Newest Numbers)
Amazon reported Q1 2026 results on April 29, 2026. They beat expectations across the board.
14. Q1 2026 net sales hit $181.5 billion, up 17% year over year, against Wall Street’s $177.2 billion estimate.
15. Net income reached $30.3 billion in Q1 2026, which includes $16.8 billion in pre-tax gains from Amazon’s investment in Anthropic.
16. Operating margin hit 13.1% in Q1 2026, the highest in Amazon’s history.
17. For Q2 2026, Amazon guided to $194 to $199 billion in sales, or 16% to 19% growth, with Prime Day included in the quarter.
18. Units sold grew 15% in Q1 2026, the fastest unit growth Amazon has posted since the pandemic surge.
19. Trailing twelve month operating cash flow climbed 30% to $148.5 billion through Q1 2026.
Amazon Profit Statistics
20. Amazon earned $77.7 billion in net income in 2025, up 31% from $59.2 billion in 2024.
21. Full year operating income reached about $80.2 billion in 2025, a 17% jump.
22. Amazon ended 2025 holding $123 billion in cash and marketable securities.
Worth knowing: free cash flow tells a different story. Trailing twelve month free cash flow fell to $1.2 billion by Q1 2026 because capital spending on AI exploded. More on that later.
Amazon Market Share Statistics
No other US retailer comes close online. The only debate is how you measure the lead.
Amazon’s Share of US Ecommerce
23. Amazon holds 37.6% of the US ecommerce market by Statista estimates, while sales-based measures put it as high as 40.5%.
Why the range? Different firms count differently. Some measure Amazon’s retail sales, others count total marketplace spending. Older GMV-based analyses ran close to 50%, but roughly 38% to 40% is the defensible figure today.
24. Walmart, the number two, holds just 6.4% of US ecommerce. Amazon’s share is nearly six times larger.
Global Ecommerce and Company Value
25. Amazon holds about 13% of global online retail by most estimates, since Chinese platforms dominate their home market.
26. Amazon’s market cap sits around $2.7 trillion as of July 2026, making it the fifth most valuable company in the world.
27. Amazon ranks as the fourth most valuable brand globally at $356.4 billion, behind Apple, Microsoft, and Google.
Amazon vs Competitors
| US Ecommerce Platform | Market Share |
|---|---|
| Amazon | 37.6% |
| Walmart | 6.4% |
| Apple | 3.6% |
| eBay | 3.0% |
| Target | 1.9% |
Source: Statista, 2025 estimates.
Walmart
28. Walmart’s 6.4% US ecommerce share makes it the clear number two, powered by grocery pickup and its 4,600+ US stores.
It’s growing online faster than Amazon in percentage terms, but from a base one sixth the size.
Alibaba
29. Alibaba’s Taobao and Tmall control the majority of ecommerce in China, the world’s largest online retail market, which is why Amazon’s global share stays in the low teens.
eBay
30. eBay holds about 3% of US ecommerce. Unlike Amazon, it runs a pure marketplace with no meaningful fulfillment network of its own.
Shopify Ecosystem
31. Shopify powers more than 4.8 million live stores, though it competes as infrastructure rather than a destination marketplace.
If you sell direct, the full Shopify statistics breakdown shows how that ecosystem stacks up.

Amazon Seller Statistics
Amazon likes to call itself a partner to small business. The numbers back up how central independent sellers have become.
Total Amazon Marketplace Sellers
32. Amazon has over 9.7 million registered sellers worldwide, with more than 2 million actively selling, per Marketplace Pulse estimates.
Registered doesn’t mean active. Millions of accounts sit dormant, which is why the two numbers differ so much.
Third-Party Seller Statistics
33. Third-party sellers accounted for 61% of all paid units on Amazon in Q4 2025, a record high.
34. Seller services (commissions, fulfillment, and shipping fees) brought Amazon more than $170 billion in 2025.
Amazon makes more from sellers than most retailers make in total. The marketplace is the business now.
Amazon FBA Statistics
35. About 82% of Amazon sellers use Fulfillment by Amazon, per CapitalOne Shopping research.
36. More than 300,000 sellers have used Multi-Channel Fulfillment to ship orders from other sales channels through Amazon’s network.
FBA is near mandatory in practice. Prime badges drive conversions, and you don’t get the badge without fast fulfillment.
Amazon Product Statistics
Total Products on Amazon
37. Amazon lists well over 350 million products, and counts that include all third-party listings put the catalog above 600 million items.
38. Amazon’s own inventory covers about 12 million items. Third-party sellers supply the rest, over 588 million listings.
That gap explains the whole marketplace strategy. Amazon can’t stock everything, so sellers do it for them.
Most Popular Product Categories
39. Electronics lead the platform, with 44% of Amazon shoppers buying in the category, followed by clothing, shoes, and jewelry at 43%, per Statista surveys.
Reviews decide winners inside every category. Our online review statistics report shows how heavily shoppers rely on them before checkout.
Amazon Private Label Brands
40. Amazon operates more than 100 private label brands, from Amazon Basics to Solimo, competing directly with the sellers on its own marketplace.
Amazon Statistics by Country
Amazon’s 10-K breaks out the countries that matter most. The US dominance is stark.
Amazon in the United States
41. The United States generated $489.7 billion in Amazon net sales in 2025, about 68% of the company’s total.
No other country reaches even a tenth of the US figure.
Amazon in Europe
42. Germany is Amazon’s largest international market at $45.9 billion in 2025 net sales.
43. The United Kingdom follows closely at $43.2 billion in 2025.
Together, Germany and the UK produce nearly $90 billion, more than Amazon’s entire business generated in 2014.
Amazon in Asia
44. Japan contributed roughly $30.8 billion in 2025, about 4.3% of Amazon’s net sales.
45. India has over 100 million Amazon customers, and Amazon has committed $26 billion in cumulative Indian investments by 2030.
India isn’t a profit center yet. It’s a land grab against Flipkart in what may become the world’s next huge ecommerce market.
Amazon Prime and Prime Day Statistics
Prime is the moat. Members pay for shipping they’d get elsewhere free, then spend more because they’ve paid.
Prime Membership
46. Estimates put global Prime membership around 250 million in 2025 and 2026. Amazon stopped reporting exact figures after confirming 200 million in 2021.
47. US Prime membership sits between 180 and 197 million depending on the source, with CapitalOne Shopping estimating 67% of Americans hold a membership.
48. Prime Video reaches an estimated 230 million viewers worldwide, now with an ad-supported tier feeding the ads business.
Prime Day 2026 Results
Amazon moved Prime Day 2026 up to June 23 to 26, two weeks earlier than usual. Adobe Analytics tracked the fallout across US retail.
49. US shoppers spent $26.4 billion online across all retailers during Prime Day 2026, up 9.3% from the 2025 event.
50. Day one alone drove $8.3 billion, the single biggest US ecommerce day of 2026 so far.
51. Buy now, pay later covered 6.6% of Prime Day 2026 orders, about $2.1 billion in spending.
52. Electronics led the event, with day one purchases up 105% versus average June sales and discounts peaking at 24% off.
53. For comparison, Prime Day 2025 (held July 8 to 11) drove $24.1 billion, and Cyber Monday 2025 hit $14.2 billion in a single day.
Prime Day now outsells the entire Thanksgiving-to-Cyber-Monday stretch on a per-event basis. The full Cyber Monday statistics make a fun side by side.

Amazon Traffic Statistics
Traffic is where Amazon’s real advantage shows. It doesn’t rent attention from Google. It owns the starting point.
Monthly Website Traffic
54. Amazon.com pulls about 2.5 billion visits per month, ranking among the most visited sites on earth, per Semrush data.
55. Visitors average 11 minutes 33 seconds per session and view 6.6 pages per visit. People don’t browse Amazon. They hunt.
Mobile vs Desktop Traffic
56. Mobile drives 59.5% of Amazon.com traffic, with desktop at 40.5%.
Desktop hangs on because of research-heavy and business purchases. Impulse buys live on the phone.
Top Countries Driving Amazon.com Traffic
57. The United States accounts for 83% of amazon.com visits, around 2.13 billion monthly.
| Country | Share of Visits | Monthly Visits |
|---|---|---|
| United States | 83.1% | 2.13 billion |
| India | 1.9% | 48.8 million |
| Canada | 0.9% | 21.9 million |
| Brazil | 0.8% | 20.1 million |
| Mexico | 0.8% | 19.2 million |
Source: Semrush. Note this covers amazon.com only. Amazon.de, amazon.co.uk, amazon.in, and amazon.co.jp carry their own massive traffic separately.
How Shoppers Use Amazon
58. 66% of US consumers start their product searches on Amazon, not Google.
59. 80% of shoppers name fast, free shipping as their top reason for choosing Amazon, per Statista.
That search behavior is why brands fight for reviews and rankings inside Amazon itself. Trust signals decide the sale, the same pattern our social proof statistics show across every platform.
Amazon Logistics and Fulfillment Statistics
Amazon built the largest retail logistics machine in history, and it’s now half robot.
Fulfillment Network
60. Amazon operates more than 1,100 fulfillment centers, sortation centers, and delivery stations worldwide.
61. Amazon has deployed over 1 million robots across its fulfillment network, working alongside human staff.
62. Amazon processes an estimated 18 to 20 orders every second on average, and far more during peak events.
Delivery Operations
63. Amazon Air operates a fleet of more than 110 cargo aircraft moving packages between hubs.
64. Fulfillment costs dropped from 15.8% to 15.0% of revenue between Q1 2025 and Q1 2026 as robotics and regional warehouses cut handling costs.
That 0.8 point improvement sounds small. On $716.9 billion in revenue, it’s billions in savings per year.
Amazon Employee Statistics
Total Workforce
65. Amazon employs about 1.56 million people worldwide, full and part time, making it the second largest private employer in the US after Walmart.
Warehouse and Fulfillment Workers
66. More than 1 million of those employees work in fulfillment and logistics roles, packing and moving orders.
Corporate Workforce and Layoffs
67. Roughly 350,000 people work in Amazon’s corporate and tech roles, spanning AWS, devices, ads, and retail teams.
68. In October 2025, Amazon announced cuts of about 14,000 corporate roles, with reports suggesting reductions could eventually reach 30,000 as AI reshapes office work.
The pattern is blunt: warehouse automation grows the robot count while corporate headcount shrinks. Jassy has said openly that AI will reduce some roles.
Amazon AI Statistics and Future Trends
This is where 2026 differs from every previous year. Amazon is betting the balance sheet on AI.
Rufus and AI Shopping
69. More than 250 million customers used Rufus, Amazon’s AI shopping assistant, in the past year, with monthly users up 149%.
70. Shoppers who engage with Rufus are 60% more likely to complete a purchase, and Amazon estimates it’s already adding $10 billion in annualized sales.
Amazon has started placing sponsored product prompts inside Rufus conversations. AI chat is becoming ad inventory.
AWS and the AI Buildout
71. Amazon plans about $200 billion in capital expenditures for 2026, most of it aimed at AI infrastructure, chips, robotics, and satellites.
72. Amazon already spent $44.2 billion on capex in Q1 2026 alone, up from $25 billion a year earlier.
73. Amazon’s custom chip business (Trainium, Graviton, Nitro) passed a $20 billion annualized revenue run rate, growing triple digits.
74. OpenAI expanded its AWS commitment by $100 billion over eight years on top of an existing $38 billion deal, while Amazon agreed to invest up to $25 billion more in Anthropic.
75. Amazon Bedrock processed more AI tokens in Q1 2026 than in all prior years combined, with customer spend up 170% quarter over quarter.
What Comes Next
76. If Q2 2026 guidance holds, Amazon is on pace to clear $800 billion in annual revenue in 2026.
77. Amazon Leo, the satellite network formerly called Project Kuiper, is building toward consumer broadband service, opening yet another subscription line.
The company that sold books now sells compute, ads, groceries, movies, and soon, internet from space. The diversification is the story.

Conclusion
Three numbers summarize Amazon in 2026: $716.9 billion in revenue, roughly 40% of US ecommerce, and $200 billion committed to AI in a single year.
The marketplace runs on independent sellers, who move 61% of all units. Prime keeps 250 million members loyal. AWS funds everything with cloud profit.
And the next phase is already visible. Rufus is turning product discovery into a conversation, robots outnumber warehouse workers in some buildings, and ad revenue keeps compounding.
For anyone selling online, the takeaway hasn’t changed: shoppers start on Amazon, and they buy what other buyers already trust.
