An analysis of UK-based Amazon sellers by online consumer goods company Thrasio has revealed that there could be 2,795 UK-based sellers turning over at least £83,334 per month on the platform which translates to more than £1m Amazon sellers by turnover per year.
The categories most likely to have £1m Amazon sellers include grocery (667 sellers), beauty (533), home & kitchen (370), pet supplies (279) and electronics & photo (256). PC & video games (1), jewellery (1), watches (2), shoes & bags (3) and lighting (3) were the categories least likely to have £1m Amazon sellers.
The data also reveals the surprising ways that sellers can create thriving online offerings. 31 million-plus sellers focus on dog biscuits and snacks, 20 offer chocolate boxes and gifts, and 18 primarily sell face serums.
Amazon’s platform provides sellers with a number of routes to grow their business, and they can take advantage of its fulfillment network (FBA) to rapidly scale their logistics in line with demand. Thrasio’s research suggests that million-pound sellers are leveraging FBA for at least 32% of sales.
After growing their brands, many sellers will look to exit with companies like Thrasio, which can then apply optimizations, supply chain efficiencies, and marketing tactics to help those brands grow. Thrasio has created dozens of Amazon multi-millionaires via acquisitions of sellers which turnover more than a million each year. In the last six weeks, three UK retail millionaires have been created via Thrasio acquisitions.
