Search engines are weakening Amazon's hold on product search

Amazon's share of initial product searches dropped from 55% in 2016 to 49% in 2017, and search engines like Google appear to be responsible, according to a survey from Survata as cited by Bloomberg.

Search engines' share went from 28% to 36% between 2016 and 2017, reversing the drop they saw between 2015, when they had 34%, and 2016.

The rise of mobile commerce (m-commerce) may be responsible for search engines' turnaround.

BI Intelligence analyst Daniel Keyes has the full story.
