“Amazon’s goal is to enable delivery of practically any product, to almost every customer, within an hour,” Colin Sebastian, analyst at Baird Equity Research, wrote in a note to investors. “In the meantime, we believe convenient and fast delivery continues to be one area of competitive differentiation for Amazon, as more and more general merchandise is sold through the platform, and skipping the traditional bricks-and-mortar channel.”

In addition to expedited delivery options, Prime customers have access to streaming music and video, cloud storage and other services for their $99 annual fee. Amazon does not disclose the number of Prime subscribers, however securities research firm Consumer Intelligence Research Partners LLC in January estimated the retailer ended 2015 with 54 million U.S. members, up 35% year over year. That’s equal to 47% of all U.S. Amazon shoppers, the firm says.

Consumer Intelligence Research Partners on Wednesday estimated Amazon sold 3 million Amazon Echo devices since launching the product in 2014, including 1 million devices during the 2015 holiday shopping season. The Echo device is a voice-controlled speaker that lets people stream music and search the Internet.
