Amazon is one of the companies that I wrote about on last week. Amazon.com is a vast Internet-based enterprise that sells books, music, movies, housewares, electronics, toys, and many other goods, either directly or as the middleman between other retailers and Amazon.com’s millions of customers. Amazon has competition in different sectors. Its biggest retail competitors are Alibaba, eBay, Walmart, JD, Flipkart, and Rakuten. For the online streaming services audience, Amazon competes with Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, and Disney+.
Amazon has sales in international marketplaces, like Amazon Germany, Amazon UK, Amazon Japan and others. Last reported quarter 2022 Q3 Amazon’s international marketplaces it was $27.72 billion, down by -5% year-over-year from $29.14 billion. From $104.41 billion in 2020 it increased by 22% to $127.79 billion in 2021. Delivery to so many countries and territories can be challenging if you don’t have the technology and data to make fulfillment possible, but Amazon has this covered. They use international address verification to ensure that shoppers around the world can quickly and easily enter their billing and delivery address details into the checkout without frustration, and ensures that the international address data that is captured is accurate and can be delivered to the correct address.

The organization I spoke about was Delta Airlines. My sister has worked for them for 30 years, and they are my airline of choice to fly of course.
Delta Airlines is the largest airline by revenue, asset value, and market capitalization. The airline industry is considered an oligopoly and undergoing unprecedented change. This is when a small group of companies dominates a market, often because the barriers to entry discourage potential competitors. Consumers can expect more direct flights, increased price transparency, increased fees, and the time cost of security.
Competition between airlines is fierce, and carriers are expanding their footprint in the industry. The importance of this would be that the operation of airlines is within a competitive space within the airline industry, which is great for the consumers. The competition fosters airline investment in everything from new aircraft to new technology and amenities to improving our nation’s airports.
Prices of airline tickets will continue to fluctuate, especially during the holiday season. There are always blackout dates that will promote special rates, yet they sell out quickly. Aviation is saturated with key players who enjoy and distribute equal market shares. Nevertheless, new entrants into the airline industry would not gain success. They would be swiftly pushed out of business due to a lack of capital.
