US EditionAmazon's secret 'Bend the Curve' project purges billions of product listings from the Everything Store
- Amazon launched the confidential 'Bend the Curve' project to remove billions of unproductive product listings from its online marketplace by 2024.
- The initiative targets rising cloud expenses and the removal of inactive or low-performing listings as one element of CEO Andy Jassy’s overall effort to reduce costs.

- Despite cutting listings, Amazon aims to grow product selection and maintain customer satisfaction, as active ASINs still project to 74 billion by end of 2024.
