Amazon Is Regaining 1P Unit Share - Marketplace Pulse

Google News - Marketplace Pulse5h agoamazongeneral

Executive Summary

Amazon is increasing its first-party (1P) unit share, meaning Amazon is directly selling more products rather than facilitating third-party seller transactions. This shift affects the competitive landscape for 3P sellers on the platform.

Our Take

More 1P competition means Amazon may prioritize its own inventory in search results and Buy Box placement. Monitor your product categories in Brand Analytics to see if Amazon has launched competing ASINs, then adjust pricing and advertising spend accordingly.

What This Means

This reflects Amazon's strategy to control high-margin categories directly rather than just collecting referral fees, intensifying the platform's dual role as marketplace and competitor.

Key Takeaways

Check Brand Analytics Market Basket Analysis monthly -- if Amazon launches 1P ASINs in your category, increase Sponsored Product bids by 15-20% to maintain visibility.

Review your wholesale supplier agreements to ensure Amazon cannot source identical products directly from your manufacturers.

Bottom Line

Amazon's 1P growth means tougher competition for 3P sellers.
