I'm not aware of any country besides the US in which Amazon dominates in anything.

Amazon has over 50% of the German e-commerce market, is also #1 in Italy and Spain.

Japan and India have also been getting investments, now that they've established a presence in such a massive scope of industries in the largest economy in the world.

Next year (2027) or maybe 2028 should see them have as a global internet provider ala StarLink.

In the UK, Germany, and Australia, Amazon has around 70% of the audiobook market.

Amazon.com is the world's largest global bookstore.

Twitch controls 70% of the game streaming market except for China.

Give it ~4 years and Amazon will be dominating UK and India delivery and private delivery services.

I live in the UK and Amazon essentially dominates online retail here. It's usually the go-to brand name which "killed the high street", by undermining it completely.
