Sources: Eurostat, EuroCommerce, national e-commerce associations & market research. Figures in €, latest available year. Methodologies differ slightly between countries — use for market context. Complete pan-European data is for 2024; the full 2025 report is due in September 2026.

What AI reads from the data
  • Ukraine (+25%), Romania & Bulgaria (+18%) are the fastest-growing markets — Eastern Europe is where momentum is strongest right now.
  • UK (€150bn), Germany (€93.6bn), France (€112bn) are huge but growing at just 3–6%; competition is fierce and customer acquisition costs are high.
  • Spain & Italy (both +9%) offer a sweet spot — large markets with above-average growth, worth serious attention.
  • Practical move: Prioritise Eastern/Southern Europe for expansion if you want growth headroom; enter Western Europe only with a clear differentiation strategy and deep pockets.

The opportunity map

Every European market plotted by growth and size (bubble = online shoppers). Fast-growing markets sit to the right, big markets sit high — the sweet spot, fast & not yet saturated, is where your next expansion bet lives.

Bubble size = online shoppers · dashed lines mark the European median growth & size · click a market type in the legend to show or hide it. Each market's full opportunity profile — spend per capita, % of GDP, spend per shopper — is unlocked in the free report.

The money map: where Europe's online spending sits

Every market as a tile sized by its online-retail turnover and coloured by growth. At a glance: the biggest tiles (the West) are mostly blue — slow — while the green, fast-growing markets are still small. That gap is the opportunity.

Tile size = B2C online-retail turnover · colour = year-on-year growth (green = fast, amber = mid, blue = slow) · hover for exact figures.

Where the growth is: East vs West

Online retail grouped by region — bar length = how fast the region is growing (weighted by market size), with total market size alongside. Emerging Europe is expanding several times faster than the mature West.

Eastern Europe 6 bn € +24.2 %
South-East Europe 18 bn € +16.6 %
Southern Europe 134 bn € +9.0 %
Central Europe 59 bn € +7.6 %
Northern Europe 42 bn € +7.0 %
Western Europe 442 bn € +5.0 %

Room to grow: who isn't shopping online yet

Each market by online adoption (how many already shop online) and growth — bubble = population. The top-left corner (low adoption, fast growth) is the biggest untapped runway: lots of people about to move online.

Left = fewer people shop online yet (more headroom) · up = faster growth · bubble = population · dashed lines = European medians · click a group in the legend to show or hide it.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers from the benchmark — every number below comes from the data on this page.

How big is European e-commerce?
Across the 35 European markets tracked by ecommerce-report.eu, consumers spend roughly €700 billion a year online (B2C online retail, latest available data). Western Europe holds most of the volume, while the fastest growth is in the East and South-East.
What is the largest e-commerce market in Europe?
The United Kingdom, at roughly €150 billion in B2C online turnover a year, ahead of France (about €112 billion) and Germany (about €94 billion). Spain (~€68 bn), Italy (~€59 bn) and Poland (~€43 bn) follow.
Which European e-commerce market is growing fastest?
Ukraine, at about +25% year on year, followed by Romania and Bulgaria at around +18%. As a region, emerging Eastern Europe grows roughly five times faster than the mature West — about +24% vs +5% a year.
How do European customers pay online?
Very differently in every country: Poland pays with BLIK, the Netherlands with iDEAL (about 70% of transactions), Germany and Austria prefer pay-by-invoice, Switzerland uses TWINT, and cash on delivery still leads in Romania and much of the Balkans. A local payment method is a conversion requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Which marketplaces dominate European e-commerce?
Amazon leads most of Western Europe, but local champions win elsewhere: Allegro in Poland (over 50% of the market), eMAG in Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria, bol.com in the Netherlands and Belgium, and Skroutz in Greece.
Is this data free to use and cite?
Yes. The benchmark is free to cite under CC BY 4.0 with a link to ecommerce-report.eu. The raw dataset is downloadable as CSV, and the full 35-market report — every payment method, carrier and marketplace per country — is delivered free by e-mail.
