Last year, ecommerce giant Amazon invested more than 17 billion euros (15 billion British pounds) in the United Kingdom. This is part of the company’s plan to invest 46 billion euros (40 billion British pounds) by the end of 2027. According to Amazon’s financial report, the United Kingdom is the company’s third-largest market globally.
Last month, Amazon also announced that it is investing 15 billion euros in the French market, over a three-year period. The investment will be used to build four new distribution centers and to improve the existing logistics network in the country. This would result in more than 7,000 new permanent jobs.
Revenue in the UK came to over 34 billion euros
Last week, the company also announced its economic impact in the United Kingdom. The total revenues of Amazon’s activities in the country came to more than 34 billion euros (30 billion British pounds) in 2025. This means that the United Kingdom is Amazon’s third-largest market globally, after the United States and Germany.
Taxes came to a total of more than 1.5 billion euros (1.3 billion British pounds). Compared to 2024, this was an increase of 20 percent. Additionally, the online marketplace employs around 75,000 people in the country.
Investing in new warehouses
The company is planning to invest a total of 46 billion euros (40 billion British pounds) up until the end of 2027. This plan had already been announced last summer. As part of the investment, Amazon will build four new warehouses in central England and Northern England. These will create thousands of more jobs.
