Amazon's growth in the Middle East continues unabated. It has become one of the strongest e-commerce channels, especially in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia (KSA) markets. But succeeding on this platform is more complex than it looks from the outside.

The Challenges Brands Face Most Often

Among the challenges brands face most often are: local stock synchronization, keeping up with region-specific campaign calendars, and meeting Amazon's strict performance metrics (shipping time, cancellation rate).
