In today’s digital-first economy, borders are no longer barriers. With the rapid growth of e-commerce, Indian sellers now have the power to reach millions of international customers — all from the comfort of their homes or offices. And leading this global revolution is Amazon Global Selling, a platform that enables businesses in India to sell internationally on Amazon marketplaces like the US, UK, Canada, Germany, UAE, and beyond.
Whether you’re a startup, manufacturer, or established brand, the opportunity to export from India via Amazon is no longer limited to large corporations. It’s scalable, cost-effective, and backed by both technology and government incentives.
Let’s dive deep with our new series of E-commerce with Amazon, to gain the insights about starting your e-commerce business.
The Global E-commerce Opportunity
Global cross-border e-commerce is expected to touch $7.9 trillion by 2030. International consumers are actively searching for high-quality, affordable products — and Indian goods (from textiles to handicrafts to electronics) are in high demand. Amazon provides a trusted platform to reach those buyers, supported by end-to-end solutions in fulfillment, payments, and customer service.
