Costco and Amazon Vie for Healthcare Market Share as Discounters Expand Offerings

Costco and Amazon are increasingly competing for the same customers as they expand into new areas like grocery and healthcare.

Costco recently partnered with Sesame to offer discounted virtual and in-person healthcare services to its members.

Amazon has struggled to gain a foothold in healthcare through acquisitions like Pillpack and One Medical.

Costco can leverage its stores and customer trust to grow its healthcare offerings beyond the Sesame partnership.

With lower prices and no major acquisition needed, Costco may have an advantage over Amazon in healthcare.
