Amazon says it invested more than €1.9 billion in Luxembourg in 2025 and supported over 10,000 jobs through its direct and indirect operations, as the US tech giant underlines the Grand Duchy's importance to its European business. In a statement released on Thursday, the company said its investments in Luxembourg last year included infrastructure spending and employee compensation, adding that the spending contributed an estimated €750 million to the country's GDP, according to consultancy Keystone Strategy.
The retail giant said it directly employed more than 4,250 permanent staff in Luxembourg in 2025, while indirect and induced employment linked to its activities are believed to exceeded 6,500 additional jobs. The company also highlights its growing role in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and satellite technology, describing Luxembourg as a "strategic hub for European operations".
In this context, Amazon vice president Mariangela Marseglia praised Luxembourg for continuing to offer "exceptional talent" and a favourable business environment.
Cumulative investment in Luxembourg since 2010 now exceeds €13 billion, with Amazon estimating that its contribution to the country's GDP over the past decade surpassed €4 billion. The company further underlines that its 2025 investment level exceeded the annual budget of Luxembourg City.
Amazon also highlighted partnerships with Luxembourg charities and non-profit organisations developed over the years. The company said it donated more than €330,000 to the Luxembourg Red Cross through late 2025, including medical supplies for Ukraine relief, and provided laptops to Digital Inclusion, as well as hygiene kits and school materials to Stëmm vun der Strooss.
Amazon established its first Luxembourg office in 2003 and now operates across eight buildings in Kirchberg.
The figures come months after Amazon confirmed plans to cut around 16,000 jobs worldwide as part of a broader restructuring programme, following earlier announcements that brought the total number of planned cuts to roughly 30,000 corporate positions globally. Amazon previously said Luxembourg would not be affected beyond organisational changes announced in December, when the company confirmed plans to cut 370 jobs in the Grand Duchy.
At the time, Amazon said the restructuring was intended to "reduce layers, increase ownership, and remove bureaucracy", while continuing to invest in areas such as artificial intelligence.
The latest statement also comes as Amazon continues to face regulatory scrutiny in Europe. In March, Luxembourg's Administrative Court annulled a €746 million GDPR fine imposed on Amazon by the National Data Protection Commission (CNPD), ruling that the regulator had not sufficiently assessed whether the company's breaches were intentional or negligent before issuing the penalty.
While the court confirmed that GDPR violations had occurred, it ordered the CNPD to reassess the case. Amazon welcomed the decision and said it had acted "in good faith" under evolving EU privacy rules.
