Deep dives
The Rise and Fall of O-Group
O-Group, previously known as Oki, exemplifies the dramatic fluctuations in e-commerce dynamics, especially within Amazon’s platform. After a significant review scandal in 2021, which implicated numerous Chinese sellers, O-Group saw a substantial drop in revenue and faced account suspensions. Notably, O-Group had over 500 Amazon accounts, a staggering number that reflects the scale of operations typical in this sector, yet Amazon's response only targeted a few brands. Despite a 21% revenue decline post-scandal, the company managed to pivot and adapt to shifting market conditions.
