Shoppers turn to Amazon for fresh produce and seafood, helping it take market share from supermarkets

  • Amazon's sales of fresh groceries like seafood and produce are growing fast, new data show.
  • The retail giant is also gaining market share against more traditional retailers, Nielsen IQ found.
  • The data shows momentum for Amazon in a business it's spent years trying to break into.

Amazon is gaining ground in grocery thanks to items like fresh shrimp and berries.

Roughly a year after expanding same-day fresh grocery delivery to thousands of cities and towns in the US, Amazon's perishable grocery sales are booming — and taking market share from traditional retailers, according to data from market research firm Nielsen IQ.

Sales of groceries such as seafood, dairy, and produce on Amazon increased severalfold between June and August, per Nielsen IQ's data. Amazon also posted market share gains in the food category for the year through late August as traditional grocery stores lost it, Nielsen found.

Two bar charts compare total and online food dollar share changes by retail channel versus year ago.
Amazon gained market share in food sales, both overall and online, as rivals such as grocery stores lost it.

Nielsen IQ

"Shoppers are increasingly embracing Amazon for categories that historically represented one of the largest barriers to online grocery adoption," Nielsen wrote in its report.

Amazon has spent years trying to break into grocery, though it hasn't hit a home run in the category as it did with books or cloud computing. The company acquired Whole Foods, opened and shuttered another brick-and-mortar grocery chain, and created a selection of private-label groceries, among other steps.

The Nielsen IQ data suggest that Amazon's latest push — toward delivering fresh groceries quickly across much of the US — is yielding some results in the competitive grocery space.

Many of the shoppers buying fresh foods on Amazon come from households with incomes over $100,000 and tend to be older, according to Nielsen IQ. They also tend to be frequent Amazon users, placing more orders and spending more money on the platform than an average user.

That means fresh groceries, one of the most frequent purchases for US households, are "a potentially important lever for increasing shopper frequency and overall spend" on Amazon, the report reads.

To keep the momentum going, Amazon will need to take on formidable rivals. One is Walmart, which already uses its stores and its own army of gig workers to deliver groceries same-day.

Amazon is considering opening about 1,000 same-day fulfillment centers around the US by 2031, Business Insider reported in September. That move would create the same sort of advantage that Walmart has by placing more fulfillment centers close to more customers, one analyst said.

The AI 'vibe directing' startup OpenArt has hired a former Salesforce marketer to turn it into a household name

21 October 2026 at 12:00
openart ai scott larson
Scott Larson is joining OpenArt AI as its VP of brand marketing. He first experimented with the platform to create a short film starring a stick of butter about to meet an unfortunate end.

OpenArt/LinkedIn, Scott Larson

Salesforce and Meta marketing alum Scott Larson says OpenArt AI's conversational text-to-video generator is the tool he wished he'd had earlier in his career.

The platform helps whizz up short videos, arty images, and music by typing in a few prompts.

OpenArt this week tapped Larson as the company's vice president of brand marketing, the company exclusively told CMO Insider.

He joins in a period of rapid growth for the company, which said it's on track to pass $250 million in annual recurring revenue by the end of 2026. It's increased its head count to 80 employees over the past year, up from 20, and grown to 8 million monthly users, the company said.

Larson told CMO Insider he's on a mission to make OpenArt "as close to a household name as a creative AI can be."

He said the biggest challenge will be to wrap all of OpenArt's different use cases into a single "North Star" story.

It recently launched a new product called Director that lets users describe an idea, visual style, and narrative arc, which it then turns into videos up to 5 minutes long. It promoted the launch with a cinema and billboard campaign that it hoped would spark a "vibe directing" craze among the creative community. Others use its platform to create social posts, AI voiceovers, or lyric videos. It also offers an AI model leaderboard to help its users benchmark different AI video and image models.

Larson previously worked at advertising agencies on large consumer brands such as Nike, Levi's, and Gatorade. He later became global executive creative director at Meta, then known as Facebook. Larson went on to be an SVP at Salesforce, where he helped shape the branding behind its annual Dreamforce conference and launched ad campaigns starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

Larson first experimented with OpenArt two months ago, creating a very short film with three cuts. Called "Life is Short," it shows a man made out of a stick of butter walking alongside a swimming pool. The butter man looks up at the scorching sun above before the video cuts to an old-school title card saying "The End."

"Had I had this tool starting back when I was a little creative junkie up until today, I'd be making everything all the time," Larson said.

Earlier this year, OpenArt plucked another exec from Big Tech, hiring former Google executive Raj Gajwani as its chief business officer.

Crest 3D Whitestrips are on sale for $35 on Amazon — their lowest price since January

20 October 2026 at 21:58

Refresh your smile for less during the Amazon Beauty sale with Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects. The popular at-home whitening kit has dropped to $35 — its lowest price since January. In total, you'll save 24% with the current promotion. The set includes 22 treatments designed to help remove surface stains from coffee, tea and other foods and drinks.

READ MORE: Get ahead on holiday gifting with these 29 Nordstrom deals — up to 64% off

Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects: $34.99 (24% off)

Original price: $45.99

Why is this deal worth it?

Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects offer a convenient way to help lift surface stains at home. Compared to the cost and efficacy of professional whitening, I find these effective. I've seen results after several days of consistent use.

I like that I can work them into my routine, too. They adhere to my teeth, so I can talk and drink water while they work. At the dentist, on the other hand, you have to lie in a chair and remain still throughout the treatment. When I'm done, I peel them off and toss them.

The Amazon Beauty sale brings the kit to its lowest price in nine months. At $35, it's just above its all-time low, making this a good time to save on a 22-treatment kit that could also work as a stocking stuffer.

Each kit includes 44 strips: one longer strip for the upper teeth and one shorter strip for the lower teeth in each treatment. Depending on the version, you can wear them for 45 minutes or one hour.

Tips for teeth sensitivity

Tooth sensitivity is one of the most common complaints among reviewers. Some shoppers report discomfort after several treatments, while others say the strips can be awkward to apply or leave an unpleasant taste. Results also vary, depending on your teeth and level of stains.

I find that using the strips four or five days in a row can leave my teeth feeling unpleasantly sensitive; I get around that by skipping two or three days when doing treatments so my teeth get a break.

"The sensitivity thing is real, and you do have to plan around that commitment," wrote one reviewer. "But if you want results you can actually see without breaking the bank or sitting in a dentist's chair, these are legit."

"Around day six, I started getting these little zings of sensitivity in a couple of my teeth. Nothing unbearable, but definitely noticeable. Switching to Sensodyne toothpaste for a few days helped a lot," said another reviewer. "If you've got sensitive teeth to begin with, you might want to do every other day instead."

Trump's War With Iran Pushed Him To Waive a Century-Old Shipping Law. Commerce Boomed.

18 October 2026 at 11:00

America's interminable war with Iran has killed thousands, disrupted commerce that flows through the Strait of Hormuz, and raised prices on the home front.

But there may be one silver lining. In an attempt to lower gas prices that spiked because of the war, the Trump administration has repeatedly issued waivers of the Jones Act, a century-old law that requires all goods moved between American ports to be carried on American-built, American-crewed ships.

With the law (temporarily) not being enforced, commerce has exploded.

Just look at how much propane has been shipped from the mainland United States to Puerto Rico, says Colin Grabow, a trade policy analyst at the Cato Institute and perhaps the nation's foremost advocate for abolishing the Jones Act.

Since March, when the first waiver was issued, Puerto Rico has imported more than 800,000 barrels of propane from the mainland. That's more than twice the amount of American propane shipped to Puerto Rico in the last 22 years combined.

America is one of the world's leading producers and exporters of propane, but the lack of Jones Act–compliant ships capable of carrying gas means that it has been nearly impossible to ship propane from the mainland to outlying parts of the country. In the past, Puerto Rico has imported gas from Nigeria, Chile, and elsewhere because those deliveries don't have to comply with the Jones Act.

For years, libertarians have argued that the Jones Act unfairly impoverishes American consumers and businesses that want to buy and sell things within the same country in order to artificially inflate the price of moving those things across water. Waiving the law seems to have proven that point: There are plenty of ships capable of moving gas and oil around the country as long as the government gets out of the way.

"The instant the Jones Act no longer applied to energy shipments, mainland propane displaced foreign imports, suggesting it had been the cheapest option all along," says Grabow.

Puerto Rico is hardly the only winner.

The Jones Act waivers are offering a glimpse into a world where the law doesn't exist. From March through mid-August, there had been 210 voyages completed that otherwise would have been deemed unlawful without the waivers, according to an analysis of Maritime Administration data by the Institute for Energy Research.

It's a world where American oil and natural gas can be more easily shipped from the Gulf Coast to New England, which had previously been importing energy from Russia and Europe. Another big winner is California, which had been importing gasoline from as far away as the Bahamas because it was nearly impossible to legally ship gas from Texas or Alaska to the West Coast.

President Donald Trump reupped the Jones Act waiver in mid-May. Another extension, issued in August, will last for 90 days but applies only to ships carrying energy products such as gas and oil. Before that waiver expires in November, lawmakers ought to kill the Jones Act permanently.

There is some irony in the fact that one of Trump's most successful policy maneuvers has paused a protectionist law that limited commerce, when so much else of his economic policy has been focused on erecting barriers to trade. It's also amusing that it was a war in the Middle East—something Trump pledged to avoid—that triggered this change.

Still, the proof is in the shipping. The free traders were right all along.

Le commerce à l'assaut du droit social

Ne plus avoir besoin de « motif valable » pour licencier, c'est le rêve de M. Pierre Gattaz, président du Mouvement des entreprises de France (Medef). Pour assouvir cette demande, la France devrait dénoncer la convention n° 158 de l'Organisation internationale du travail, qu'elle a ratifiée en 1989. Lutter contre de tels reculs s'avère de plus en plus délicat pour l'agence des Nations unies.

Toutes les quinze secondes, un travailleur meurt d'un accident ou d'une maladie liés à son travail (1). L'effondrement (plus de mille cent morts) de l'atelier textile du Rana Plaza à Dacca (Bangladesh), le 24 avril 2013, symbolise les conditions d'emploi proches de l'esclavage de nombreux ouvriers dans le monde. Mais on peut également citer, dans les pays du Nord, les suicides à répétition de salariés de groupes privatisés broyés par une politique managériale musclée (Orange, Renault, La Poste…).

C'est précisément pour lutter contre de telles situations que l'Organisation internationale du travail (OIT) cherche à gagner en influence. Première agence de l'Organisation des Nations unies (ONU), créée en 1919, elle repose sur une base tripartite, rassemblant sur un pied d'égalité les représentants de ses cent quatre-vingt-cinq Etats membres, ceux des employeurs et ceux des travailleurs qui y vivent. Son activité, principalement normative, consiste à adopter des conventions (obligatoires pour les Etats qui les ratifient) et des recommandations ou déclarations sur les droits des travailleurs (sans valeur contraignante).

Cependant, avec l'essor de la mondialisation économique, l'OIT s'est vue marginalisée par l'influence croissante des institutions financières internationales (IFI) — la Banque mondiale et le Fonds monétaire international — et par la création de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC) en 1995. En outre, la diminution du taux de syndicalisation tant dans les pays développés, où s'est généralisée la précarité de l'emploi, que dans les pays en développement, où prolifère l'économie informelle, fragilise l'OIT et son tripartisme fondateur. C'est pourquoi, à partir des années 1990, l'organisation s'est engagée dans une stratégie de réaffirmation internationale. En 1994, elle obtient ainsi le statut d'observateur auprès des deux IFI dans le but d'y promouvoir l'intérêt pour les questions sociales (2).

Peu de pouvoir contraignant

Mais c'est surtout l'adoption, en 1999, du concept de « travail décent » qui marque sa volonté de peser dans le débat mondial (3). En 2005, l'OIT lance ainsi les programmes par pays pour la promotion du travail décent (PPTD). Adoptés par plusieurs dizaines d'Etats, ils sont élaborés en accord avec les partenaires sociaux. La même année, l'organisation obtient que le travail décent figure enfin dans les Objectifs du millénaire pour le développement (OMD). La Conférence internationale du travail (assemblée décisionnelle de l'OIT) adopte à l'unanimité en juin 2009 un pacte mondial pour l'emploi, sans valeur contraignante.

Pour l'OIT, le travail rémunéré constitue le principal moyen de sortir de la pauvreté. Le choix du terme « travail », plutôt que celui d'« emploi », permet de prendre en compte le secteur informel. Quant à l'adjectif « décent », il relèverait plutôt du christianisme social, qui a inspiré certains fondateurs de l'organisation (4). L'agence insiste sur la protection sociale et met en place des équipes d'appui technique pour conseiller les gouvernements, notamment en Afrique.

Durant des années, le débat sur l'insertion d'une « clause sociale » dans les traités commerciaux avait agité l'organisation. Pour les partisans de cette innovation, il s'agissait de créer un lien entre l'OIT et l'OMC, cette dernière pouvant user de sa capacité de sanction vis-à-vis des Etats, capacité dont l'OIT est dépourvue. Mais les pays en développement y ont vu une manœuvre protectionniste déguisée de la part des pays développés. La déclaration de Singapour de 1996, adoptée par l'OMC, a clos ce débat en affirmant la stricte séparation des questions de commerce et de travail.

En conséquence, l'OIT a recentré son action sur la promotion de huit conventions jugées « fondamentales » : sur le travail forcé (convention adoptée en 1930), la liberté syndicale (1948), la négociation collective (1949), l'égalité de rémunération (1951), l'abolition du travail forcé (1957), la discrimination en matière d'emploi et de profession (1958), l'âge minimum d'admission à l'emploi (1973), les « pires formes de travail des enfants » (1999).

Observatrice au G20 en 2009, l'OIT paraît sortir de sa marginalisation. Mais son rapprochement des institutions financières et de l'OMC s'effectue-t-il au bénéfice des idées progressistes qu'elle porte ou des idées néolibérales promues par les IFI ? Pour le sociologue altermondialiste Thierry Brugvin, l'OIT braderait, au nom de l'efficacité, le droit international du travail en revoyant ses ambitions à la baisse (5). Pour d'autres, sa stratégie d'influence porterait ses fruits : les objectifs de travail décent et de lutte contre la pauvreté ont été inclus dans les documents stratégiques de réduction de la pauvreté (DSRP) des IFI qui ont succédé aux plans d'ajustement structurel en 1999. Ainsi, en 2009, la Banque mondiale a modifié son indicateur sur l'emploi des travailleurs, qui attribuait de bonnes notes aux pays dérégulant leur marché du travail ; elle prend en compte la mise en place d'une protection des travailleurs conforme aux conventions de l'OIT. Elle développe par ailleurs un nouvel indicateur, sur la protection des travailleurs. Ce qui ne l'empêche pas de prôner la lutte contre les « rigidités » du travail…

Quelle que soit l'évolution de l'OIT, la clé de son efficacité serait que toutes ses normes soient dotées d'une force contraignante lui permettant de sanctionner, comme l'OMC, les Etats et les entreprises contrevenants.

Nuova tassa sugli acquisti online extra-Ue: da novembre fino a 5 euro in più a pacco

11 October 2026 at 15:07

Nuova stretta sugli acquisti online extra-Ue. Con la pubblicazione del nuovo vademecum operativo da parte della Commissione Europea, Bruxelles ha tracciato le linee guida per l’applicazione di due nuove tasse doganali sulle spedizioni a distanza importate da Paesi terzi.

Il provvedimento, pensato per tutelare i mercati comunitari e contrastare la concorrenza sleale dei colossi del commercio online, come Shein, Temu o AliExpress, combina una misura temporanea sui piccoli pacchi con una nuova tassa fissa di gestione destinata a diventare permanente.

Dazio temporaneo sui piccoli pacchi: 3 euro a pezzo

La prima novità riguarda il dazio doganale introdotto dal regolamento Ue 2026/382. La misura prevede l’applicazione di una tassa fissa da 3 euro su ogni singolo vestito o oggetto comprato online da siti fuori dall’Unione Europea, se il valore del pacco non supera i 150 euro.

Fino a poco tempo fa i pacchi piccoli non pagavano la dogana. Adesso questa franchigia è stata cancellata. In concreto significa che:

  • chi acquista pagherà 3 euro di tassa su ogni articolo presente nel pacco, una misura che resterà in vigore per due anni (fino al 1° luglio 2028);
  • i 3 euro si pagano su qualsiasi oggetto, compresi alcolici, profumi e tabacco;
  • la tassa viene imposta su tutte le merci inviate da Paesi extra-Ue, a prescindere da chi si occupa della spedizione finale in Italia;
  • entro il 1° dicembre 2027 l’Ue deciderà se prorogare questa tassa oltre il 2028.

Dal 1° novembre la tassa di gestione: altri 2 euro a pezzo

A questa prima tassa se ne aggiunge un’altra: la Union handling fee, ovvero la tassa europea di gestione introdotta dal regolamento Ue 2026/2108 ai sensi del nuovo Codice doganale comunitario.

A partire dal 1° novembre 2026, si pagherà un ulteriore tributo di 2 euro su ogni singolo prodotto comprato online da Paesi extra-Ue. A differenza dei 3 euro sui piccoli pacchi, questa tassa di 2 euro si applica su tutti gli oggetti a prescindere dal prezzo, anche per acquisti sopra i 150 euro, ed è permanente, cioè non scadrà mai.

Chi paga davvero e come funzionano i controlli

Sulla carta la responsabilità di versare le tasse alla dogana spetta a chi dichiara la merce, ossia i grandi colossi dell’online come Shein, o i corrieri. Nella pratica è molto probabile che le piattaforme di e-commerce addebiteranno questi costi direttamente all’acquirente nel carrello prima del pagamento, oppure la somma verrà riscossa dal corriere al momento della consegna a casa.

Inoltre, dal 1° novembre 2026 scatta l’obbligo del codice identificativo di prodotto (Pid) per tutte le merci extra-Ue sotto i 150 euro: una sorta di carta d’identità del pacco che servirà alle dogane per tracciare chi ha prodotto l’oggetto e bloccare subito i vestiti o i prodotti che non rispettano le norme di sicurezza europee.

Il risultato per le tasche dei consumatori è un rincaro combinato. Per fare un esempio pratico: chi acquista una maglietta da 5 euro da un sito cinese, da novembre rischia di pagare 3 euro di dazio temporaneo più 2 euro di tassa di gestione.

EU Parliament approves sweeping customs reform targeting e-commerce imports

Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič and MEP Dirk Gotink (EPP, Netherlands) Photographer: Mathieu Cugnot © European Union

The European Parliament has approved a major overhaul of the EU’s customs system, tightening requirements on e-commerce platforms, introducing a new handling fee for goods ordered from outside the bloc and creating a central EU customs authority.

“This is the biggest reform of European customs since 1968, supporting trade and the enforcement of EU rules,” said MEP Dirk Gotink, (EPP, Netherlands) who steered the legislation through Parliament. Gotink said European customs authorities had been overwhelmed by a “tsunami of Chinese parcels” and that the reform would give customs officers stronger tools to enforce EU standards.

Under the new rules, e-commerce platforms and sellers shipping goods directly from non-EU countries to European consumers will be treated as importers. That will make them responsible for providing customs data, handling applicable charges and ensuring products comply with EU law.

The reform also introduces an EU-wide handling fee on goods ordered directly from non-EU countries, with member states required to begin collecting it no later than 1 November, 2026. The European Commission will determine the amount and review it every two years.

Companies that repeatedly breach EU customs rules could face fines ranging from at least 1% to as much as 6% of the value of goods they imported into the EU during the previous 12 months.

The overhaul will also establish an EU Customs Data Hub, designed to replace at least 111 existing customs IT systems. A new EU Customs Authority, based in Lille, France, will manage the hub and coordinate customs cooperation and risk management across the EU.

The Council has already given the reform its final formal approval, making Parliament’s vote the final step in the legislative procedure.
