Amazon’s business to business (B2B) platform has been rapidly growing since it was launched in 2015. The B2B site has millions of active business customers and is on pace to surpass $10 billion in sales. The largest industrial distributer, WW. Grainger Inc., is expected to bring in $11.3 Billion in sales this year. About 1/5 of Grainger’s sales come from products that are sourced from China. With U.S. tariffs on Chinese products, industrial suppliers like Grainger are faced with a tough road ahead.
