UK businesses using platform could generate almost £1.4 billion for 2015.
Amazon has today said that UK businesses selling through its Marketplace platform could sell almost £1.4 billion across 2015.
Over 100 million units are poised to be sold by British third party sellers using the platform. This will be down to them offering more products than before, as well as participating in Amazon Christmas deal events for the first time.
They will also be able to use Fulfilment by Amazon, with their goods being included as part of the Prime and Free Super Saver delivery options.
In addition, British sellers will be able to use 11 Amazon websites in seven languages, as well as more than 100 fulfilment centres to reach 294 million customers around the world.
“We are thrilled to see our Marketplace sellers experiencing such rapid growth, creating jobs and playing an integral part in delighting customers,” said Simon Johnson, director of UK seller services at Amazon.
“We anticipate the biggest Christmas ever for our third party businesses, as a result of using services such as Fulfilment by Amazon and Global Selling.”
Business secretary Sajid Javid added: “We should be very proud of the British companies manufacturing and selling British products all over the world – they all play an important part in driving our economy forward.”
