It was Q1 2019 when Amazon revenue from subscription services crossed the $4 billion mark for the first time in history. About $4,342 million ($4.3 billion) in revenue was generated through subscription services, with a whopping 39.97% YoY increase.

In Q1 2016, Amazon generated $1,300 million or 1.3 billion in revenue from its subscription services, globally, which increased to $2,131 million ($2.1 billion) by the end of December 2016.

Interestingly, in Q1 2018, Amazon reported a strong 60% YoY growth in subscription services revenues, from just $1,939 million to $3,102 million. Subscription services accounted for over 6% of the company’s total revenue during the first quarter.

However, Amazon Subscription services revenue growth slowed down in the last one year. In Q4 2018, the global retail giant witnessed the slowest 25% YoY growth in revenue from subscription services. One reason could be the saturated Prime membership in the United States.

It should be noted that Amazon Prime subscription fees vary across geographies and duration. For instance, Amazon’s monthly subscription fee is more expensive than its annual fees i.e $119 per year and $12.99 per month.
