It is no secret to anyone the great impulse and growth that electronic commerce had during the strictest confinement of the pandemic, a moment in which most shoppers changed their consumption habits. Despite the fact that security regulations have relaxed a bit, people have become accustomed to doing their shopping online.
During 2019 and 2021 we witnessed a great increase in the number of e-shoppers, a figure that is expected to continue to increase, further strengthening electronic commerce. In this sense, have you ever thought about the cross border trade? A market that we could consider as underestimated and unexplored by many European traders, but where great results can be obtained.
our friends from an international company specialized in home deliveries for eCommerces, have created an eBook entitled “Ecommerce cross border 2022. Discover your customers in Europe”where you can learn through infographics all the figures you need to know the international market and take the next step that your business expands.
Opportunities in cross border sales
Europe ranks as the third largest e-commerce market worldwide, with nearly 297 million online shoppers which during 2021 generated a turnover of 613 million euros, of which 25% was the product of international transactions. With these figures it seems logical to bet on cross border eCommerce.
The Spring eBook presents a series of infographics where you can understand a little more about the consumer habits and trends in the main European markets(Spain, Germany, Belgium, , Finland, , Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, the Netherlands, , Portugal, , Sweden and Switzerland).
Unveiling the most popular sectors of activity for online sales, the country of origin of cross-border purchases, the delivery time and the place consumers prefer to receive their packages, some return trends and key elements in shipments of each country mentioned above, this eBook can finish convincing you and take away the fear of internationalization.
Likewise, a review is made of the challenges that arise in cross-border sales, such as the new regulations for shipments to the United Kingdom, VAT in Europe, return management, the growing trend of sustainable transport and the socioeconomic context of the buyers.
As a bonus, Spain is a market where millions of cross-border buyers place orders, so it represents a golden opportunity to expand your business.
