Europe B2C E-Commerce Market 2016LONDON, Nov. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Europe of Different Speeds: B2C E-Commerce sales growth rates vary across the old continent Europe is one of the largest B2C E-Commerce markets worldwide, a new report by yStats.com reveals. This region is home to two of the five highest ranking countries globally in terms of online retail sales. These two markets, the UK and Germany, accounted for nearly half of the region's B2C E-Commerce sales and had some of the highest online shopper penetration rates in the region in 2015. France was Europe's third leading country in B2C E-Commerce sales, likewise benefiting from a high double-digit online shopper penetration rate. Due to these markets being in advanced stages of development, their sales growth rates are predicted to be more moderate compared to the rapid growth of emerging B2C E-Commerce markets such as Turkey and Poland. Some common characteristics emerge in the various online retail markets across Europe, including the increasing importance of mobile and cross-border shopping, yStats.com's report reveals. For example, in Italy, M-Commerce's share of total online retail sales is projected to more than double through 2017, and in Russia, China-based cross-border shopping websites are gaiing popularity each year. Another market trait shared by many countries in Europe is the leadership of clothing as the product category purchased by the highest share of online shoppers in 2015. The competition landscape in European B2C E-Commerce features both international and local companies. Amazon has remained one of the market leaders in terms of sales and website visits in the region's major countries for the past several years. Due to the popularity of the clothing category, online fashion retailers, such as Germany-based Zalando and Bonprix, UK-based Asos and Russia-based Wildberries, have also kept high ranks in their markets of operation. Overall, the report by yStats.com shows that competition remains intense as some of the European B2C E-Commerce markets mature, while others continue to grow rapidly.
