Amazon has previously expanded Amazon Business significantly, similar to how its AWS transitioned from internal services to external commercialization, achieving exponential growth and becoming a profit engine.
On the capital path, the 71% growth rate drives platform commissions and Prime-like service revenues, with resources invested in corporate procurement tools and logistics networks, consolidating Amazon's market share in the B2B sector.
Similar to Alibaba's international platform or traditional ERP system digitalization, corporate procurement is currently in a transition phase from offline to platform-based.
Essentially, this is a restructuring of the industrial chain, with digital platforms centralizing procurement demands, driving capital from dispersed suppliers towards a few B2B giants and enhancing global supply chain efficiency.
