According to Eric Broussard, Amazon vice president of Global Selling and International Seller Services, there are about 2 million Amazon third-party selling partners worldwide, and their products account for 60 per cent of everything sold in Amazon's store.

"Vietnam is an emerging part of the global e-commerce supply chain. We value the nation’s manufacturing strength, entrepreneurial spirit, and rapid digital transformation. That’s why we are enhancing our presence in the country and will continue to accelerate its success with us," Eric said.

Vietnam has proven to be a dynamic, export-driven economy. By leveraging its advantages in terms of product innovation, production capacity, and digital transformation, the country has effectively propelled its business-to-consumer e-commerce exports.

According to data from Amazon,17 million products from Vietnamese businesses were sold to Amazon customers worldwide over the previous 12 months up to August 31. The export value of Vietnamese businesses selling with Amazon increased by half, enlarging the contribution to the country’s export economy.

Thousands of Vietnamese businesses have captured global expansion opportunities with Amazon, with the number of selling partners in Vietnam increasing by 40 per cent.

Amazon Global Selling helps businesses from anywhere to launch a global business, reaching Amazon customers worldwide while building their international brand.

These results signify the effective partnership between Vietnamese small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Amazon, as well as the resilience of entrepreneurs as they continue to navigate and thrive in a challenging economic climate.

Recognising the capabilities and determination of Vietnamese SMEs, Amazon Global Selling has announced its strategic priorities for 2024, expanding its efforts to empower Vietnamese selling partners as they strengthen their innovation and competencies and facilitating the creation of international businesses in this vibrant export context.

Gijae Seong, head of Amazon Global Selling Vietnam said, "We will continue our efforts to help Vietnamese selling partners innovate and upgrade their products, build global brands, and scale their international presence."

"We have announced our 2024 strategy, and are sharing a series of new tools, programmes, and other offerings to empower Vietnamese manufacturers, brands, and entrepreneurs through every stage of the export journey while accelerating their growth opportunities," he added.
