We support your expansion in Europe with our strategic locations in:
Germany
The German market is characterised by a high population, strong purchasing power and above-average e-commerce penetration. Revenues in the online B2C sector amounted to just under 75 billion US dollars in 2019 – with a strong upward trend. For these reasons, Germany is an attractive target market for online retailers in Europe. In addition to the strong German market, the central European location is also a great advantage.
France
Alongside Germany, France is considered the most important industrial country in the European Union. In terms of gross domestic product, France ranks sixth worldwide and third in Europe behind the United Kingdom and Germany. For this reason, it is also considered an attractive market for online retailers. For e-commerce entrepreneurs who want to grow significantly in Europe, entering the French market is therefore essential.
Great Britain
The e-commerce sector in the UK is particularly strong and ranks third in the global ranking by turnover. By 2021, 93% of Internet users are expected to make online purchases, which is the highest purchase rate in Europe. The average annual expenditure per customer is €942. All this makes a UK based fulfillment and logistics center particularly attractive for any e-commerce company.
Austria
Although Austria is a comparatively small sales market, the Alpine Republic is characterised by high e-commerce penetration and purchasing power. For this reason, the sales potential should not be underestimated. What makes this location particularly attractive, however, is its central location in Europe. Fulfillment centers in Austria are therefore ideally suited for online retailers to supply target countries in the Eastern Europe in a cost-saving, fast and efficient manner.
The Netherlands
The Netherlands is, due to its favourable geographical location, in e-commerce often referred to as the gateway to Europe. In addition, it also offers an attractive domestic market. Netherlands’ e-commerce market is characterised by a highly developed e-commerce market and large shopping baskets, nevertheless the high standard of delivery speed is also striking. Therefore, a clever shipping strategy becomes even more fundamental in order to satisfy the Dutch customers.
