Amazon PPC Surpasses 10% of U.S. Digital Ad Market Share

According to The Wall Street Journal, “Amazon. com Inc.’s share of the U.S. digital ad market grew to 10.3% last year from 7.8% in 2019, according to a new report from research firm eMarketer.”

This means that Amazon PPC which includes its Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, DSP and other advertising platforms is growing tremendously.

Though representing a smaller market share than Facebook and Google ads, it is growing more quickly as a sign of its increasing importance in the ecommerce world.

eMarketer estimates Amazon’s U.S. ad revenue last year grew to $15.73 billion, up 52.5% from 2019. Amazon’s U.S. digital ad share is still small relative to Google and Facebook’s, which accounted for 28.9% and 25.2% of the business, respectively, in 2020.

Amazon Is the Target of Small-Business Antitrust Campaign

Is Amazon becoming a monopoly?

Last Tuesday, a new coalition of US small business groups launched a campaign for tougher US antitrust enforcement, specifically calling for the breakup of the biggest online commerce, Amazon.

This group includes the American Booksellers Association, National Grocers Association, and a number of local and regional business organizations.

Their goal is to enact policy that could separate Amazon’s retail product business from its online marketplace of FBA sellers.

Will Amazon FBA sellers see the day where it no longer will need to compete against Amazon Basics in-house brands? We will see what happens!

Amazon DSP Live Webinar (Free) – Presented by GETIDA & Buy Box Experts – 4/13/21

Our friends at GETIDA will be hosting a free webinar on Amazon Demand Side Platform (DSP). This will be useful for larger Amazon FBA sellers who are already spending a lot on Amazon PPC.

According to Amazon, “The managed-service option (DSP) typically requires a minimum spend of $35,000 USD (minimum may vary per country)”

If you are in the ballpark and would like to learn more about Amazon DSP, I recommend this free webinar on April 13th to learn:

– What is Amazon DSP?

– What is the opportunity for Amazon sellers?

– How can Amazon sellers use DSP to get a real edge and advantage over their competitors?

– How can Amazon sellers retarget sponsored ads to shoppers who visited their listings and improve the overall ROI on ad spend?

– Can Amazon sellers convert the traffic of their competitors and gain new customers?

About the Author sevenfiguresel

Meet Gary Huang, the creator of the AI for Amazon Sellers 28 Day Challenge and the founder of the 7 Figure Seller Summit. Gary's journey in the ecommerce world began in 2005, when he launched his first private label brand selling women’s shoes on eBay. Since then, he has steadily grown a portfolio of ecommerce brands on platforms like Amazon and Shopify, serving customers in marketplaces across the globe.

But Gary's experience isn't limited to just ecommerce. With a decade of corporate experience under his belt, he has managed supply chains in Shanghai, China, overseeing multimillion-dollar sourcing campaigns. This broad range of knowledge has provided him with a unique perspective on the ecommerce industry, which he now shares with others through his various initiatives.

He is a highly regarded figure in the ecommerce space, with his strategic insights and innovative approaches widely recognized in prominent media outlets including Forbes, NPR, and Bloomberg.

Recently Gary’s fascination with AI came from a simple observation: AI was changing everything, everywhere, all at once. This impact is affecting everything from education, politics, the arts, to ecommerce businesses.

This led him to spend hundreds of hours testing AI applications in his own business and interviewing other successful Amazon sellers and ecommerce experts at the AI and ChatGPT Summit for Amazon sellers.

His aim was to find out how AI could be used to grow ecommerce businesses, save time, and increase profitability. The insights he gained have played a crucial role in shaping the AI for Amazon Sellers 28 Day Challenge.

Outside of his own ventures, Gary has shared his expertise on platforms like the Helium 10 podcast, Jungle Scout's Million Dollar Case Study, Webretailer.com, and the Global Sources Summit. His understanding of global trade was even acknowledged when he served as the Chair of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai's Supply Chain Committee, briefing White House Congressional officials on US-China trade and supply chain strategies.

Despite a career that has taken him around the world, from his native Los Angeles to Shanghai and now Japan, Gary remains down-to-earth, focusing on his role as a husband and father. His experiences, both personal and professional, inform his approach to business and the advice he shares through the 28 Day Challenge.
