Whether you love, hate or remain neutral on Amazon, one can only marvel and admire the numbers Amazon are already driving in 2017 which only appear to be accelerating.
The below infographic from Fortna provides a startling picture of where Amazon is at currently and how by 2021 they're expected to handle over half of online e-commerce transactions with Walmart now only at 5% and growing!
The two factors which seem to be driving this incredible growth and success are their legendary Customer Centricity as well as a Relentless Culture of Innovation including their new Amazon Hub multi-retailer / multi-carrier parcel lockers for apartments and condominiums. Pictured below, this new innovation integrates both of these key success factors!
So whether you're looking at this as an individual or as a company the question becomes, in a retail world that's rapidly becoming an Amazon world is it time to start figuring out how you can join them, as beating them will soon no longer be an option?...

7 年I am sure in overall growth story of Amazon, India market will have a very interesting place. Since Amazon entered India market it has been witnessing extensive growth. An example from FMCG world with Unilever and P&G were growing multi folds there came an Indian enterprise Patanjali who had erroded there growth story and is now a big competitor. Same story is waiting to happen in e-commerce space. An Indian Enterprise venturing into eCommerce could really erode growth story of Amazon. The only thing that can keep them afloat is value system within.
