Amazon not only boasts a hugely successful online retail platform but also a thriving digital marketplace which is seamlessly integrated with the main retail shopping experience. That being said, in the first quarter 2025, 61 percent of paid units were sold by third-party sellers. 1P and 3P Amazon sellers There are many ways of selling on Amazon. Firstly there are first-party (1P) vendor sales, where vendors send their inventory to Amazon, who in turn control the pricing and include “ships from and sold by Amazon.com” on product listings. The benefits of 1P sales on Amazon are wholesale purchases from Amazon, priority selling and brand trust through Amazon’s credibility as a seller. Amazon also permits third-party (3P) sales on its marketplace. Both individuals and professional sellers can sell on Amazon Marketplace. When it comes to order fulfillment, possible options are Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM). Items are displayed as “sold by MERCHANT and Fulfilled by Amazon / Fulfilled by MERCHANT”. 3P sales are a popular strategy for sellers to make up for certain 1P sales disadvantages, namely improved margins through better pricing control, more favorable payment terms and less reliance on the relationship with Amazon. Amazon seller revenues This magic formula has ultimately cashed in for Amazon, which has seen its net revenues multiply in recent years. In 2023, the e-commerce giant generated approximately 140 billion dollars in third-party seller services, an increase of about 23 billion dollars from the previous year. While these figures are the product of orders throughout the year, a significant chunk is attributable to special offer and discount days. According to a survey, Black Friday is the shopping event driving the largest sales increase for Amazon sellers, followed by two of the company's own events, Prime Day and Amazon Summer Sale. In the context of the coronavirus pandemic, Amazon Prime Day played a particularly decisive role for small and medium-sized businesses around the world, many of which had to turn to online sales overnight in order to survive.

Deepening partisan polarization has caused extreme discontent with the existing two-party system. But despite bipartisan concerns about third party vote splitting, there has been little attempt to measure the policy preferences of current Republicans and Democrats who want a third party alternative to the two dominant parties. From April 19 to May 1, 2022, we surveyed 1,862 American adults to determine if these “disaffected partisans” are more or less polarized. First, we confirm previous findings that most Americans — Republicans and Democrats alike — now say a third party is needed. For 14 different issues, we then compare the policy preferences of partisans who think a third party is needed and those who do not. Contrary to the popular narrative that disaffected partisans might converge around a centrist or moderate third party, we find that disaffected partisans are just as polarized or more on most issues.

During a 2020 survey carried out among senior industry experts from companies involved in the use of data and data collaboration from the United States, 61.9 percent of respondents stated they used a clean room or other secured, shared environment as a data sharing solution in support of their advertising and marketing efforts. Such environments are typically used for the analysis of two or more first-, second-, or third-party data sets.

Over the five years through 2024-25, industry revenue is forecast to contract by 0.3% to £21.5 billion. The Third-Party Logistics (3PL) industry manages procurement, fulfilment and distribution. It offers value-added services like customs brokerage, which broadly protects it from significant revenue shocks, given the wide-ranging and crucial nature of the services provided. The COVID-19 pandemic hit revenue with a large share of companies operating at lower capacities or having to declare force majeure on some clients. However, e-commerce boomed as stay-at-home orders encouraged people to shop online from their own homes, driving strong demand for 3PL services from online retailers. As global supply chains reopened, there was a revival in logistics market activity across the board as companies sought 3PL providers to increase the agility and reliability of their supply chain. Following the COVID-19 disruptions, 3PL providers faced significant inflationary pressures due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This resulted in higher operating costs because of escalating fuel prices and supply chain delays, which negatively impacted profitability. In 2024-25, revenue is forecast to pick up, growing by 2% as business confidence improves and inflation subsides, supporting spending on 3PL services. More and more companies are concerned with the sustainability of their supply chains, boosting demand for providers that can help integrate electric vehicle fleets and other low-carbon initiatives. The adjustment to low or zero carbon for 3PLs is weighing slightly on profit because of the large-scale investment required. Over the five years through 2029-30, revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.8% to £24.3 billion. Business confidence and profit will gather momentum in the coming years as inflationary pressures subside, supporting renewed demand for value-added services offered by 3PL providers. E-commerce will continue to be a key driver of growth for the industry. Also, 3PL providers will increasingly invest in smart technologies, like AI-driven analytics, to optimise supply chains and enhance data management. In addition to advancing their technology, 3PL companies will intensify their environmental initiatives to achieve sustainability goals and attract eco-conscious customers.

Background: Attribution to the original contributor upon reuse of published data is important both as a reward for data creators and to document the provenance of research findings. Previous studies have found that papers with publicly available datasets receive a higher number of citations than similar studies without available data. However, few previous analyses have had the statistical power to control for the many variables known to predict citation rate, which has led to uncertain estimates of the "citation benefit". Furthermore, little is known about patterns in data reuse over time and across datasets. Method and Results: Here, we look at citation rates while controlling for many known citation predictors, and investigate the variability of data reuse. In a multivariate regression on 10,555 studies that created gene expression microarray data, we found that studies that made data available in a public repository received 9% (95% confidence interval: 5% to 13%) more citations than similar studies for which the data was not made available. Date of publication, journal impact factor, open access status, number of authors, first and last author publication history, corresponding author country, institution citation history, and study topic were included as covariates. The citation benefit varied with date of dataset deposition: a citation benefit was most clear for papers published in 2004 and 2005, at about 30%. Authors published most papers using their own datasets within two years of their first publication on the dataset, whereas data reuse papers published by third-party investigators continued to accumulate for at least six years. To study patterns of data reuse directly, we compiled 9,724 instances of third party data reuse via mention of GEO or ArrayExpress accession numbers in the full text of papers. The level of third-party data use was high: for 100 datasets deposited in year 0, we estimated that 40 papers in PubMed reused a dataset by year 2, 100 by year 4, and more than 150 data reuse papers had been published by year 5. Data reuse was distributed across a broad base of datasets: a very conservative estimate found that 20% of the datasets deposited between 2003 and 2007 had been reused at least once by third parties. Conclusion: After accounting for other factors affecting citation rate, we find a robust citation benefit from open data, although a smaller one than previously reported. We conclude there is a direct effect of third-party data reuse that persists for years beyond the time when researchers have published most of the papers reusing their own data. Other factors that may also contribute to the citation benefit are considered.We further conclude that, at least for gene expression microarray data, a substantial fraction of archived datasets are reused, and that the intensity of dataset reuse has been steadily increasing since 2003.

During a 2023 survey, 43 percent of responding U.S. marketers and agencies said they used proprietary identifiers, such as first-party data, for transactions with media sellers. Third-party cookies ranked second, named by 25 percent of respondents.

Third Party Welding Inspection Market Outlook

The third party welding inspection market size is projected to grow significantly over the coming years, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% from 2024 to 2032. In 2023, the market was valued at approximately $1.5 billion, and it is anticipated to reach around $2.8 billion by 2032. This growth is propelled by the increasing demand for quality assurance and the need for compliance with stringent safety regulations across various industries.

One of the primary growth factors driving the third party welding inspection market is the stringent regulatory framework that governs various industries such as oil & gas, construction, and aerospace. Governments and industry bodies have implemented rigorous standards to ensure safety and reliability, which necessitate independent welding inspections. This has led to a surge in demand for professional third party welding inspection services that can provide unbiased assessments and help companies comply with these regulations.

Another significant factor contributing to market growth is the rising complexity of welding tasks and the proliferation of advanced materials. As industries evolve, they increasingly utilize high-strength and specialized materials that require precise welding techniques. This, in turn, necessitates comprehensive inspection services to ensure the integrity and quality of welds. The adoption of advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, such as radiographic and ultrasonic inspection, further underscores the growing importance of third party welding inspection services.

The growing focus on infrastructure development and industrialization, particularly in emerging economies, is also a major driver of market growth. Governments worldwide are investing heavily in infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges, and power plants, which require extensive welding activities. This increases the demand for third party welding inspections to ensure that all constructions meet the stipulated safety and quality standards. The automotive and aerospace sectors are also increasingly outsourcing welding inspections to third party service providers to maintain high safety and quality standards.

In addition to welding inspections, Third-party Medical Inspection services are becoming increasingly vital across various sectors. These services offer an independent evaluation of medical facilities, equipment, and procedures, ensuring compliance with health standards and regulations. The demand for third-party medical inspections is driven by the need for unbiased assessments that can enhance patient safety and care quality. As healthcare systems worldwide strive to improve their service delivery, the role of third-party medical inspections becomes crucial in identifying areas for improvement and ensuring adherence to best practices. This trend is particularly evident in regions with stringent healthcare regulations, where maintaining high standards is essential for accreditation and operational success.

Regionally, the Asia Pacific market is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period due to rapid industrialization and infrastructure development in countries like China and India. Europe and North America also hold significant market shares due to their well-established industrial sectors and strict regulatory requirements. The Middle East & Africa region is projected to experience moderate growth, driven by ongoing developments in the oil and gas sector.

Service Type Analysis

The service type segment of the third party welding inspection market includes visual inspection, radiographic inspection, ultrasonic inspection, magnetic particle inspection, and others. Visual inspection remains one of the most commonly used methods due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. It involves examining welds with the naked eye or with magnifying tools to detect surface flaws such as cracks, porosity, and undercuts. Despite its limitations in detecting subsurface defects, visual inspection is often the first line of defense in quality assurance.

Radiographic inspection, on the other hand, uses X-rays or gamma rays to examine the internal structure of welds. This method is highly effective in detecting internal flaws such as voids, inclusions, and cracks that are not visible on the surface. Radiographic inspection is widely used in critical applications, including the aerosp

Since the first video games emerged in the 1970s, video game companies have continually redefined entertainment, offering users an unparalleled interactive experience that distinguishes gaming from TV, streaming services and more. Shifts in various trends, like mobile video games and online ways to buy games becoming much more popular in the period, have also been helping this industry. These developments laid the groundwork for a remarkable growth trajectory in industry revenue—peaking at a compounded annual growth rate of 7.7% leading up to 2024 and expanding 5.2% that year. However, this explosive growth brought on considerable challenges. Significant developers like Sony and Microsoft drove consolidation through high-profile acquisitions, such as Microsoft's bid for Activision Blizzard, which drew scrutiny from FTC and EU regulators. Merger activity like this aims to position these companies at the forefront of a market with rising development costs, high inflation and a complete return to outdoor lifestyles. Antitrust regulations could reshape industry practices, prompting businesses to consider new approaches for sustainable growth. Various developments in mobile gaming platforms, such as the Steam Deck and ROG Ally, will align with consumer desires for flexible, on-the-go entertainment, but neither remotely eclipses the popularity of smartphone gaming. The popularity of downloadable games has minimized overhead, yet digital storefronts challenge smaller developers through steep fees. Independent developers could see improved profit as legislative pressure mounts to reduce these fees. But, AI-generated games represent both an opportunity and a threat—they promise reduced development times but imperil the careers of traditional designers. The video game industry's future will hinge on embracing technological advancements while navigating regulatory landscapes and shifting consumer habits. Revenue for this industry will expand at a CAGR of 6.5% towards $33.0 billion by 2029, even as profit will tighten. To thrive, developers must deftly balance innovation with adaptation to evolving market demands and legal frameworks.
