When Amazon launched Haul twelve months ago, it was clear that it was not just a simple, umpteenth addition to its storefronts. The goal was much more ambitious. Amazon wanted to redefine the way consumers buy products at extremely low prices. And, simultaneously, create new opportunities for seller partners.
The question that inspired the development of this platform was therefore clear from the start. That is, how to allow sellers to offer a vast selection of items at competitive prices, maintaining the sense of trust that distinguishes the Amazon shopping experience? The answer arrived in a very structured way.
A strong growth from which many sellers have benefited
In just twelve months, the product selection has grown by 400%, exceeding one million items available under 10 dollars. But the most interesting data for those who sell concerns traffic. Customer visits have tripled since June, demonstrating that when a wide selection is combined with aggressive prices, the market response is immediate.
What started as a mobile experiment in the United States has thus rapidly transformed into a global destination present in 25 different markets. Amazon has moreover already announced further expansions in 2026, suggesting to sellers that those who enter this system now can position themselves as early movers in markets that are still not very saturated.
The evolution of Haul has also extended to the product sector. The addition of very popular categories such as:
- toys
- electronics
- beauty products
opened the way to completely new types of sellers. The strong growth of items under 3 dollars has then demonstrated that there is a huge market for ultra-affordable products.
Moreover, the evolution of these months has shown that selling at low prices does not necessarily mean narrow margins. The secret is in the volume and operational efficiency that Amazon allows to reach through its logistics and technological infrastructure.
Personalization at the service of sales
Amazon has invested heavily in improving the shopping experience through significantly enhanced personalization and the integration of Amazon Live content.
For sellers, the above translates into greater possibilities of being discovered by the right customer at the right time. The introduction of tools like Amazon Lens Live, which allows real-time visual search, has allowed products to be found in completely new ways, opening conversion channels that previously did not exist.

An opportunity to seize for sellers
In short, 12 months after its launch, it is fair to state that Haul is certainly not an experiment. Rather, it is a strategic pillar of Amazon’s overall offer. For sellers, it means entering a channel that guarantees:
- greater stability
- continuous investments in the platform
- the certainty that resources dedicated to this channel will not be wasted.
Amazon in fact wants to continue to innovate and add features on Haul, subtracting further shares from Asian competitors.
For those interested, the time to evaluate Haul as a strategic sales channel has therefore arrived. With a marketplace that continues to grow rapidly, being among the first to consolidate one’s presence means building a competitive advantage that is difficult to replicate by competitors who will arrive later.
