Amazon aggregators are one of the biggest trends in ecommerce today. These companies acquire consumer product brands with a strong presence on Amazon. Aggregators prefer to acquire brands that are not only profitable, but that also demonstrate category leadership through a high volume of positive reviews and Amazon SEO rankings.
Check out our list of the top aggregators to follow in 2022.
Why are Amazon aggregators on the rise?
The prevalence of Amazon aggregators can be directly tied to growing consumer preference for microbrands over household names. Today’s consumers want to support smaller businesses with great founder stories and a real passion for the unique products they create, instead of purchasing from corporations that churn out thousands of products without much passion behind them.
Amazon aggregators see the potential in owning and growing brands that consumers truly love. The founders and partners who work at Amazon aggregators purchase small Amazon FBA brands from entrepreneurs who are ready to sell and who don’t have the expertise to scale their businesses themselves.
