Amazon Business Reaches $60 Billion in Annualized Gross Sales
Amazon Business has achieved $60 billion in annualized gross sales and serves over 11 million customers globally. The platform, which began about a decade ago after Amazon observed businesses shopping on its consumer site, is now central to B2B procurement across various sectors. Daniel Silverfield from Amazon highlights the shift toward fewer suppliers, better visibility, and reduced waste through AI-driven tools like Savings Insights and Business Assistant. The growth of Amazon Business has significant implications for shippers, carriers, and brokers as it consolidates supplier pools and integrates more shipments into its logistics network. The platform added 1.8 million new organizations this year alone and launched same-day grocery delivery in over 2,300 U.S. cities. Silverfield emphasized the use of AI to streamline procurement processes, including continuous price negotiation and centralized purchasing decisions. Amazon Business also introduced a dedicated fleet for B2B deliveries, designed to handle complex logistics such as pallet shipments and scheduled windows at large facilities like hospitals or universities. The company aims to reduce delivery complexity by consolidating multiple orders into single pre-scheduled shipments.
