E-commerce companies sell various goods and associated services through online portals, either on websites, mobile applications or integrated into social media platforms. Internet access across Europe is rapidly accelerating, with the vast majority of countries boasting usage rates of over 80% of the population. The spread of fast broadband and mobile data has enabled rising numbers of Europeans to engage in e-shopping. Over the five years through 2025, e-commerce revenue in Europe is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 4% to reach €352.5 billion. E-tailers benefit from lower overhead costs than brick-and-mortar stores, enabling them to offer highly competitive prices to their customers and draw sales away from traditionally popular establishments like department stores. E-tailers have taken off by leveraging these cost advantages to appeal to an increasingly price-conscious consumer base. The expansion of value-added services like ‘Buy now, pay later’ and fast, flexible delivery options have contributed to some hefty industry growth. Sky-high inflation across much of Europe severely dented Europeans’ spending power, with drops in sales volumes affecting many online stores in 2023. Despite this, revenue continues on an upwards trajectory as inflation swamps the drop in volume sales, with an estimated 3.9% growth rate in 2025. Looking forward, internet penetration will continue to provide a growing market for e-tailers, driving revenue upwards at a projected compound annual rate of 6.3% to reach €477.6billion over the five years through 2030. E-tailers will continue to adapt their business practices and product selections to reflect the ever-growing level of environmental awareness. Delivery fleets will become fully electrified for many companies, while increasingly stringent waste regulations will force companies to adopt biodegradable or recyclable packaging in the coming years. Companies in the industry must innovate to compete with rival Asian companies like Temu as they penetrate European markets.
