Amazon's decision to withdraw from Google Shopping was not sudden. The process started in May 2025 when the U.S. investment in advertising was cut in half. Between July 21 and July 23, 2025, Amazon's Shopping ad impression share fell from 60% to zero in the United States, 55% to zero in the United Kingdom, and comparable declines in Germany and Japan, marking the true turning moment. 

Amazon removed its decades-old presence in all of the major Google Shopping markets in a span of 48 hours. The preemptive planning is confirmed by market analysts, before the July blackout, Amazon had spent months cutting back on its investments in Google Shopping and revamping its internal traffic tactics. It was the biggest single withdrawal from Google's ad auctions since the company's 2020 lockup stop.
