  It's a giant market, as they hint at in the careers section: "our goal is to supply everything needed to rebuild civilization." They're far from done with their growth.

  > It's a giant market True, much larger than B2C. But there's a reason why B2C is more attractive and the reason is monopolistic. As the article notes, there isn't a clear monopoly or substantial leader in the B2B supply space - a result of the market being so huge and fragmented. What makes markets attractive is their size and potential to establish monopoly - which Amazon has achieved in the western world in B2C ecommerce. It will be interesting to see how they get on with AmazonSupply, it's a market they can gain leadership in for sure when you consider the products are commodities and it's mainly a logistics problem (they already accel in this regard obviously)
