Growth of eCommerce in Europe

In recent years, Europe’s eCommerce industry has rapidly expanded! Today the eCommerce market in Europe is valued at approximately 363 billion dollars, with an expected annual growth rate of 7.3%. The scope of the European market will be estimated at 481 billion dollars by 2023; Although Europe consists of 50 countries, the bulk of eCommerce occurs mainly in three countries: UK, Germany and France.

With the development of technology, eCommerce stores appear more accessible and efficient, at the same time, the strengthening of the middle class and the widespread use of social media encourage the demand for online purchases of diverse goods and services, which increases the expansion of the business-to-consumer (B2C) market.

Growth of eCommerce in Europe

Since the corona epidemic (COVID-19), and especially in the last decade, it has become clear that online trade is gradually becoming a mainstay of the European economy.

Business-to-consumer (B2C) eCommerce has accounted for more than 5% of GDP in many Western European countries in recent years. In other words, Internet retailing and online shopping have become very common in Europe, and both are growing year by year.

 

Use of eCommerce during COVID-19

The pandemic has wreaked retail industry, while at the same time the number of online retailers has increased dramatically as a result of the EU shutdown restrictions, and the economic damage of physical store closures has been partially offset by the growth of eCommerce in Europe.

The COVID 19 outbreak has had a huge impact on retail and online shopping behavior on a global scale.

Since the pandemic began, a significant number of European customers have indicated that they have purchased more digitally, especially in countries such as Spain, Belgium and Italy. Some people have started using online stores as their main way of purchasing for specific things, such as electronics and fashion, since the crisis.
