delivery service region.

On a global basis, they currently operate across 5 continents and have websites
specifically for buyers and sellers in about 20 countries. These nations include, among
others, those in the United States, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Turkey, Saudi
Arabia, India, Japan, Singapore, Mexico, and Brazil.

Amazon's business model is noted for being varied. The corporation had net revenues
of more than $502.191 billion and a net profit of more than $216.165 billion,
according to the annual report. Although Amazon's core business is in e-commerce, it
has acquired companies throughout the years to diversify its revenue sources and
business models. However, their online marketplace accounted for 50% of the
revenues, which was the highest percentage.

The remainder comes from profits from physical stores, Amazon AWS, app
subscription services, services for third-party sellers, and finally, advertising. A key
component of the economic model is played by Amazon Prime, a subscription-based
program that brings in more devoted customers who are prepared to pay more for the
company's services. Amazon also offers a highly profitable cloud infrastructure called
AWS. Amazon also runs a billion-dollar advertising company in addition to
everything else.

Lower costs, dependable technology infrastructure, the generation of free cash flow,
and a focus on the customer experience are how Amazon assesses its success. The
company's service sales have been expanding quickly, aiding in its global expansion.
More than 2.7 billion individuals have visited Amazon in the US alone, and they
spend more than six minutes looking through a minimum of nine pages to find what
they're looking for.
