Latest statistics on Amazon e-commerce: Profit, user seller trends revealed

In the global e-commerce landscape, Amazon still demonstrates strong growth potential. According to financial and user data for 2024, the net revenue of this e-commerce giant has almost doubled, clearly reflecting the healthy development of the global online retail industry.

Record breaking profits and revenues
In 2024, Amazon's net revenue reached $59.25 billion, an increase of nearly 95% compared to $30.43 billion in 2023.
At the same time, the total net sales reached 638 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 11%. Among them, AWS, the cloud computing division of Amazon, saw the most significant revenue growth, reaching 19%, continuing to be the core driving force behind overall performance.

Global user and seller ecosystem
Amazon's growth is inseparable from its vast customer and seller base. At present, the platform has over 310 million active customer accounts worldwide, of which a considerable proportion are paying Prime members.

Global Prime user base: approximately 240-250 million

US market: Approximately 180 million consumers have subscribed to Prime

This highly loyal group of users provides a strong engine for Amazon's continuous sales growth.

Consumer Profile: Youth and Female Dominance
Data shows that Amazon's main consumer group is concentrated between the ages of 25-34, accounting for 28.8% of the total number of visitors, with an average user age of about 37 years old.
It is worth noting that female consumers account for about 75%, especially in categories such as beauty, personal care, and groceries. Their purchasing behavior has a significant impact on product catalogs and sales trends.

Inspiration for Cross border Sellers
Amazon's financial report is not only a report card for the company itself, but also an important indicator for the entire cross-border e-commerce industry. With the younger generation of platform users, female consumption dominance, and the continuous expansion of Prime user base, sellers need to pay more attention to:

Category selection: Beauty, personal care, and daily consumer goods are still high potential tracks;

User experience: Prime users have higher expectations for logistics speed and service quality;

Global layout: If cross-border sellers can establish more efficient warehousing and fulfillment networks in the North American market, they will have more opportunities to seize peak season traffic and profits.
