The Market Intelligence Behind Amazon, the e-Commerce Giant

It’s no secret that Amazon reigns as the leading online e-commerce site. Amazon has given rise to today’s consumer shopping norm – a long way from the online bookstore it originally started.
In a given month, it can receive up to 2.3 billion visits, which is roughly 23% of the total traffic of the shopping category. In fact, in September 2016, Amazon.com was ranked the number 1 shopping site across 59 countries, as shown in the map below.
