International Expansion: Selling on Amazon Global Marketplaces

Expanding your brand beyond borders is no longer optional it’s a strategic growth lever. With Amazon operating in 20+ global marketplaces, international expansion has become one of the fastest ways for manufacturers, sellers & distributors to unlock new revenue streams.

However, global selling is not as simple as duplicating listings & shipping inventory overseas. It requires deep marketplace knowledge, regulatory compliance, localised strategy & operational precision.

At RootAMZ, we help brands expand internationally the right way strategically, compliantly & profitably. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about selling on Amazon global marketplaces & how RootAMZ supports you at every stage.

Why International Expansion on Amazon Matters in 2026  

Amazon’s global customer base now spans hundreds of millions of active shoppers, with international marketplaces growing faster than mature domestic markets.

Key reasons sellers are expanding globally:

• Slower growth in home marketplaces
• Higher margins in emerging Amazon regions
• Less competition in international categories
• Strong demand for US, EU & premium imported brands

But growth without strategy leads to losses. That’s where RootAMZ steps in as your global expansion partner.

Understanding Amazon Global Marketplaces  

Amazon offers two primary ways to expand internationally:

Amazon Global Selling Program  

Allows sellers to list & sell products across multiple international marketplaces using a unified account structure.

Major Amazon marketplaces include:

• Amazon USA
• Amazon Canada
• Amazon UK
• Amazon Germany
• Amazon France
• Amazon Italy
• Amazon Spain
• Amazon Australia
• Amazon Japan
• Amazon UAE & Saudi Arabia
• Amazon India

RootAMZ evaluates which marketplaces align with your product, pricing & brand positioning before expansion preventing costly trial-and-error.

Choosing the Right Marketplaces for Your Brand  

Not every product performs well in every country. Successful international expansion starts with marketplace selection.

At RootAMZ, we analyse:

• Category demand & search volume
• Local competition intensity
• Pricing sensitivity & taxes
• Fulfilment feasibility

Our consultancy-first approach ensures you expand where profitability is realistic, not just where Amazon operates.
