Notable price growth started in 2009. Amazon reached significant market capitalisation
milestones, surpassing $1 trillion in 2018 and becoming one of the most valuable companies in
the world.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated e-commerce adoption, benefiting Amazon. The company
experienced strong demand for online shopping and cloud services during the pandemic, leading to
robust market performance.
