SEATTLE — Amazon said Tuesday that its Amazon Business procurement platform reached $60 billion in annualized gross sales in the second quarter.
The company stated that more than 11 million organizations worldwide now use the service to manage business purchasing. The unit, which launched in the U.S. in 2015, has expanded to 11 countries and now counts 97 of the Fortune 100 among its customers, alongside hundreds of thousands of small businesses. More than 1.8 million new organizations signed up for Amazon Business in the first half of the year, the company said, adding to a customer base that spans hospitals, schools, factories and hotels.
Corporate customers cited in the announcement include Citi, the United Service Organizations, Marriott International and Carnival Corporation. Scott Thompson, vice president of logistics for North America at Carnival, said the platform has cut the time his teams spend on procurement.
"Procurement tasks that used to take hours— searching across vendors, routing approvals, reordering supplies—can now be done in minutes," Thompson said. "It's a better experience for our team members, and we're looking forward to building on that with Amazon Business as we find new ways to improve how we work."
Amazon executives framed the growth as evidence that organizations are seeking a buying experience closer to consumer e-commerce, adapted for corporate needs such as spend controls and purchase visibility. "Organizations of all sizes trust Amazon Business for vast selection, everyday value, and fast, reliable delivery—and that trust is reflected in our continued growth," said Shelley Salomon, worldwide vice president of Amazon Business. "As organizations look to do more with less, we're inventing new ways to help them save time and money—and reinvest in growing their business."
Much of the recent growth has been driven by new artificial-intelligence tools aimed at helping businesses cut costs. Amazon Business Assistant offers real-time account support and purchasing suggestions based on past orders. A Savings Insights tool analyzes spending patterns to recommend bulk discounts or repeat ordering, while a Spend Anomaly Monitoring feature flags unusual purchases that could signal errors or overspending.
The company is also betting on broader product selection to encourage customers to consolidate suppliers. Amazon Business now offers access to hundreds of millions of products through a network of millions of sellers worldwide, many of them small and medium-sized businesses—a roughly 30% increase in available items compared with a year earlier, with particular growth in repair tools, office furniture and fresh groceries.
Guided Buying and an Alexa-based shopping assistant are designed to help large organizations steer employees toward approved products within that expanding catalog. On pricing, Amazon Business said its discounts—including business-only pricing and quantity discounts available starting at two units per item—saved customers more than $1 billion worldwide in 2025. Subscribe & Save and private-label lines such as Amazon Basics offer additional savings for recurring orders. Delivery has become another point of differentiation.
Amazon Business made more than half a billion deliveries globally last year, and the company has begun rolling out dedicated, branded delivery trucks in 13 U.S. states, built to serve loading docks, office buildings, university campuses and mailrooms with scheduled delivery windows and consolidated drop-offs. Amazon said the trucks run on compressed natural gas rather than diesel, producing fewer emissions. Amazon is also expanding its Prime Business membership program, which saved members more than $880 million in shipping fees globally last year.
Last month, the company added Amazon Quick, an AI assistant that connects to workplace tools and data to handle tasks such as scheduling and building dashboards, as a discounted Prime Business benefit built on AWS security infrastructure. Quick joins existing partnerships with CrowdStrike, Gusto and QuickBooks covering cybersecurity, payroll and accounting—benefits Amazon says can save small and medium-sized businesses nearly $1,100 per year.
