It seems that Amazon grew its annual sales by around $50 billion from 2017 to 2018 for a growth rate of "only" 19% (compared with 24% the year before). I'm not exactly concerned for them.

> In 2018, Amazon’s nearly $300 billion in GMV was about a 19 percent jump from the prior year. That was notably slower than the rates of increase of 24 percent and 27 percent, respectively, in 2017 and 2016.

Seriously, and they grew faster than the ecommerce category as a whole. Plus, double digit growth in the 100’s of billions of GMV is incredible in its own right.
