International selling on Amazon at a glance More than half of Amazon&#8217;s sales are generated by independent sellers, most of whom are SMBs.\u00a0 Amazon Global Selling program gives brands almost instant access to the platform\u2019s international marketplaces.\u00a0 Most international sellers on Amazon rely on Fulfillment by Amazon to deliver products to their customers.\u00a0 Amazon\u2019s international markets are highly competitive, as 2.3 million sellers actively use them to reach customers.\u00a0 Less than 1% of US sellers offer products outside North and South America.\u00a0 Aside from the US, Germany, India, the UK, and Japan are the largest Amazon marketplaces, with combined monthly traffic of 2.6 billion visitors.\u00a0 Most Amazon sellers see international shipping and compliance as the biggest obstacles they face when entering a new market.+ The advantages and challenges of selling internationally on Amazon The path to your brand\u2019s international stardom on Amazon isn\u2019t necessarily smooth. After all, building a brand\u2019s reputation, amassing positive reviews, and setting up an efficient fulfillment process takes time and considerable effort.\u00a0 Here are some of the key advantages and challenges of cross-border selling on Amazon. The main benefits Broadening revenue sources: Running Amazon stores in several countries diversifies a brand\u2019s sources of revenue and makes it less dependent on a single market.\u00a0 Higher sales: Expanding into new markets enables businesses to offer their products to more customers and increases their annual sales numbers.\u00a0 Building brand awareness: Selling globally on Amazon provides brands with an opportunity to improve brand awareness and strengthen customer loyalty. The biggest challenges Jumping over the language barrier: Providing customer support in the market\u2019s local language improves the customer experience and drives sales. However, due to high costs, this can be a major obstacle for SMBs considering an expansion to a new Amazon market.\u00a0 Keeping up with legal requirements: The tax and regulatory obligations international sellers must meet to enter a new market vary by country. Sellers must comply with the country\u2019s laws and regulations to avoid paying fines.\u00a0 The costs of international logistics: Joining one of the FBA programs simplifies logistics for international sellers, but at the same time, it increases their costs. Brands considering expansion to new markets must factor in international logistics costs when evaluating the profitability of selling internationally on Amazon. Overview of the Amazon\u2019s Global Marketplace Amazon delivers products to over a hundred countries and intends to expand its presence to 21 local marketplaces by 2025.\u00a0 With 1.1 million active sellers and 230 million customers, the US is currently Amazon\u2019s largest marketplace.\u00a0 Amazon also attracts millions of shoppers and sellers in Germany, Japan, the UK, and India, making it difficult for brands to determine which market offers the best growth opportunities.\u00a0 The EU store transparency report Amazon published in October 2023 indicates that shops on markets like Austria, France, Belgium, Italy, and Spain have millions of monthly visitors.\u00a0 In addition, several Amazon markets in the Asia Pacific region, like China, Singapore, and Australia, are booming in 2024. This trend is likely to continue in 2025, which makes these markets attractive to brands scouting for expansion opportunities.\u00a0 The market\u2019s size and total annual revenue indicate fertile ground for brand expansion.\u00a0 However, these numbers also suggest tough competition, so placing a brand\u2019s products on a thriving Amazon market doesn\u2019t automatically guarantee a boost in sales. Finding the right moment to expand to a new Amazon marketplace In ecommerce, timing is everything.\u00a0 Entering the international marketplace too soon can exhaust a business\u2019s resources and make it difficult to keep up with the high demand for the products you sell globally. On the other hand, delaying brand expansion for too long can cause stagnation and a decline in sales. Get our free eBook to learn more about AI tools that can streamline your brand\u2019s international expansion. So, when is the right time to open an Amazon store in a different country? There are several signs that could indicate your brand is ready for expansion.\u00a0 Your store has a sizeable audience: Sellers who are already dominant on their domestic markets should consider making their top-selling products available on multiple Amazon markets.\u00a0 You have the capacity to handle higher product demand: Ensuring that your products on international Amazon markets are always in stock is paramount. However, achieving this goal is easier said than done, especially if you don\u2019t have a robust logistics solution in place.\u00a0 You can easily manage the localization: Translating listings to the market\u2019s language and converting and adjusting prices are some of the time and resource-consuming tasks your brand must tackle in order to be competitive in a new market. Starting the brand expansion without a localization plan can reduce your chances of success.\u00a0 You have the capacity to handle international logistics: The costs of shipping and delivering products to different parts of the world can make starting an Amazon store in a new country unprofitable.
