Background:
On July 5, 1994, Jeff Bezos launched Amazon from his garage in Bellevue, Washington. It began as an online book marketplace but has since grown to include a wide range of goods, earning it the nickname “The Everything Store.” It has numerous subsidiaries, including Kuiper Systems (satellite Internet), Amazon Lab126, Zoox (autonomous vehicles), and Amazon Web Services (cloud computing) (computer hardware R&D). The company also has subsidiaries for Ring, Twitch, IMDb, and Whole Foods. With the $13.4 billion purchase of Whole Foods in August 2017, it significantly expanded its physical retail footprint.
Amazon’s Future Plans
Grocery
Amazon will finally make the big purchase of Whole Foods in March 2022. Whole Foods is well known for its organic and diet-friendly products, which draw a lot of young people and people with dietary restrictions.
Amazon Go
Speaking of physical stores, Amazon is mulling over a fresh idea. Large cities like Chicago and New York City have seen an increase in the number of Amazon Go stores, which let customers enter the store by simply scanning their membership cards. They don’t even need a cashier because they can just take anything off the shelves and leave.
Pharmaceuticals
One of the few market segments where Amazon hasn’t made inroads is the medical sector, but that may soon change. The rights to PillPack, a prescription delivery service, were purchased by Amazon in 2018. Many housebound people would consider it a miracle if they could receive their medications along with an Amazon package the same day, so Amazon is certain to use this brand in the near future.
Online Services
You may already be aware that a large portion of Amazon’s revenue comes from web services. As 2022 goes on, Amazon’s platform keeps expanding. The brand keeps expanding its network of sellers, customers, and clients exponentially even after fending off the biggest DDoS attack ever seen.
