Key Takeaways

China-based sellers are consolidating share — despite more cautious price increases

After a brief dip in April, China-based 3P sellers rebounded across multiple categories. Their ASPs rose 0.8% when comparing the last week to the previous 6-week average, while U.S.-based ASPs remained relatively flat at just 1.15%. As of May 18, China-based sellers recaptured nearly 49% of 3P revenue share. Although their total seller count continues to decline, the growing revenue share suggests tariffs may be driving smaller players out — consolidating sales among top-performing Chinese sellers.

While China-based sellers now lead in 3P revenue share, U.S.-based sellers still lead in total Amazon revenue when 1P and 3P are combined (39% U.S. vs. 36% China as of May 18, 2025). However, that margin is shrinking — suggesting a broader market shift that brands should monitor closely.

U.S.-based brands lost share gains from early Q2

U.S. sellers briefly surpassed China-based sellers in revenue share in April but lost that lead by mid-May to see current revenue share of 45%. ASP increases remained flat, and U.S. revenue share returned to pre-tariff levels, highlighting continued competitive pressure in the wake of China-based competitive gain.

U.S. Brands Can Capitalize on Rising “Made in USA” Sentiment

Searches for “Made in USA” surged 5X following the tariff announcement, signaling growing consumer interest in domestically sourced products. For brands with credible U.S. manufacturing or assembly, this presents a clear opportunity to realign SEO, optimize product detail pages, and reinforce trust. By acting quickly on pricing, leaning into patriotic search volume, and tightening conversion strategies, U.S. brands can strengthen their competitive position in a shifting marketplace.
