Our Impact / Empowerment

Small Businesses

We invest in the success of entrepreneurs, artisans, and small businesses selling in our Amazon Store. When they thrive, our customers benefit from the products and services they offer. More than 60% of sales in Amazon’s store come from independent sellers—most of which are small and medium-sized businesses. That’s part of the reason we invest in logistics, tools, services, programmes, and people to foster the growth of our sellers.

Thousands of Australian businesses sell in Amazon stores, many of which are small and medium businesses.

Since 2000, Amazon and independent sellers have been transforming retail together, building a partnership that delivers exceptional selection, competitive prices, and fast delivery to customers while creating thriving businesses that generate jobs. Australian sellers, most of which are small and medium businesses, sold more than 33 million products in our stores in 2024. More than ever, we admire our Australian small business partners’ entrepreneurial spirit and drive to innovate, and Amazon will continue to do everything we can to support them.

“I started my own small business because I couldn’t find a good solution to keep my continuous glucose monitor secure,” says Pete Lomas, founder of Not Just a Patch. “I sold the first one on Amazon in 2019. Sales went off the charts. Now we're shipping over a million units a year with customers in 65 countries.”
