Marketplaces are growing. Not just in size but in a number of marketplaces as well. They’re becoming a greater percentage of the ecommerce market, which in turn is taking up a larger percentage of all retail sales with Amazon leading the charge.Amazon has pioneered what it means to be a marketplace, now surpassing google as the largest product search engine in the US, with 54% of people going directly to Amazon to search for products. On its heels are Walmart.com and several 1P & 3P marketplaces that seek to garner greater market share. But Amazon has the upper hand.If you’re a brand owner, an agency owner who constantly gets asked by your clients, “when will you start providing services for Amazon?” an Executive Level person at a large CPG company, or own a PE Retail Group that is looking to remain relevant in the coming years you have to be on marketplaces, namely Amazon. It always starts with Amazon.
