According to a new report from Amazon, the company has invested more than €22 billion in Ireland since it first launched here in 2004.
In last year alone, Amazon said it invested €3 billion in the country. Amazon has released the data to mark its 20th anniversary in Ireland.
In the past 20 years in Ireland, Amazon has opened data centres, a delivery station in Ballycoolin and a fulfilment centre in Baldonnell Business Park in Dublin. The company also has two corporate offices in Dublin and Cork.
In addition to this, Amazon announced earlier this year that it will be launching a dedicated online store in Ireland next year. The site will offer a selection of over 100 million products, shorter delivery times within Ireland and importantly, no additional customs charges.
The retail giant currently employs 6,500 people in Ireland.
