There are about 900 Portuguese SMEs that have a presence on Amazon, like Delta, iMuda, Castelbel, Ambar, Renova, and Boticario, which together have sold over two million products.
The countries where Portuguese companies export to the most are France, Spain, Germany, Italy and the U.S., with export values through Amazon of around €100 million in 2022 (+15% vs. 2021), of which 80% are within EU.
38% of Portuguese sellers use our logistics services. “Using FBA allows Portuguese companies to send their products to the logistics centres and Amazon takes care of receiving, storing, preparing, and sending the orders to the customer, while also handling any returns that may be necessary and providing customer service in the local language,” said Inês Ruvina, Amazon’s Country Lead in Portugal. In other words, an SME in Braga can sell its products to a German customer without having to invest in setting up a logistics network, and without the need to train an international customer service team.
Portuguese companies selling on Amazon have created around 2,000 jobs to support their online businesses.
