Amazon’s real growth strategy will continue to drive upside in AMZN stock for years to come.

Amazon’s(NSDQ:AMZN)growth inside and outside the United States has been relentless in the last ten years, and their double-digit growth has continued even after the company crossed over into the 100-billion-dollar annual sales territory. As the top line gets bigger and bigger, sustaining near 20% growth rate is difficult, but Amazon has managed to keep that growth rate mostly intact despite increasing competition in the e-commerce space.

The problem for Amazon is that the company is not creating a new market: it is actually taking market share from existing players. Its a well-known secret that Amazons basket of retail products is not the cheapest, but customers still keep flocking to the e-tailer in droves as it offers unparalleled convenience.
