At present, most cross-border e-commerce logistics companies provide FBA logistics services for Amazon sellers. To be precise, it is only a warehouse to warehouse service that helps sellers send goods from Chinese warehouses to Amazon warehouses in the destination sales country, not all of Amazon FBA logistics.
The entry threshold for Amazon's FBA logistics business is relatively low. Currently, more than 30% of small and medium-sized freight forwarders in the market mainly rely on FBA logistics as their main business, and the market aggregation is low. It belongs to the grassroots ecology of cross-border e-commerce logistics, and competition is extremely fierce. At present, there are no enterprises with FBA logistics as their main business and annual revenue exceeding 1 billion yuan. FBA logistics will face further integration and intensification of industry scale in the next development process.
