A report from Latona’ has outlined the best products, categories, countries and demographics for Amazon sellers by analysing a series of different data sets.
The United States boasts 69% of total Amazon sales, an unsurprising fact as CEO Jeff Bezos has long since made America the target audience and home of the company. In 2019 alone, the US accounted for $193,640,000,000 of Amazon sales. In comparison, the UK had just 6% of the total sales last year and the rest of the world combined accounted for just 25%. So, when it comes to selling on Amazon, America is the place to be!
An impressive 85% of all Amazon Prime customers visit the website once per week and 45% place at least one order per seven days.
