Amazon mainly makes profits through e-commerce business. Although Amazon is a strange or even a little distant word to consumers in China, the market price of domestic e-commerce is basically divided by Ali, JD.COM and now Pinduoduo, and there is no place for Amazon at all. But for overseas users, Amazon has almost become the most important channel for mass online shopping. Although Amazon started from its own business, its platform has now covered a large number of third-party buyers and can provide users with very good logistics services. In the past year, Amazon's global e-commerce turnover reached a new high, breaking through 1000 billion dollars for the first time, and both revenue and profit reached new highs.

Of course, this is mainly affected by the epidemic, which has led to an increase in public online shopping demand. Many people have to choose Amazon as their online shopping platform. In addition to e-commerce, Amazon also has a world-leading business, that is, cloud services. At present, in the cloud computing market, Amazon's cloud services are far ahead of its peers in terms of technology and market share.

Although e-commerce is still the main source of its profits at present, in the long run, thanks to the continuous expansion of the cloud computing market, Amazon will get more income from this field and its profits will increase year by year.
