3. Challenges of e-commerce expansion in Europe:
• 28 independent countries
• 20+ different languages
• strong national e-commerce players
• local customer preferences in terms of logistics
and payments
• different regulations in each country
High potential in e-commerce:
• 500 m citizens
• 500 bn turnover in e-commerce
• approx. 15% e-commerce growth y/y
• unlimited flow of people, goods and capital due
to European Union structure
Europe has high potential but it is also challenging
Problem: lack of single and universal Pan-European e-commerce business player with replicable
business model able to scale-up sales to each of the countries in Europe.
