WESTERN EUROPE’S SHARE OF GLOBAL B2C E-COMMERCE TO DECLINE
Western Europe is the world’s second largest region in B2C E-Commerce sales and is
predicted to retain its rank through 2019, yStats.com’s new market report reveals. Due to an
expanding share of Asia-Pacific, Western Europe is expected to lose around one percentage point
in its share of global B2C E-Commerce, and still account for approximately one quarter of the
world’s online retail sales. Western Europe is also one of the global leaders in B2C E-Commerce’s
share of total retail sales, ranking second after Asia-Pacific by this parameter in 2015.
Western European markets are advanced in terms of Internet and online shopper
penetration. In 2015, 8 countries in this region had Internet penetration of above 90% of the
population and 4 had online shopper penetration of above 80% of Internet users. Moreover, the
report by yStats.com shows that in countries such as Germany and the Netherlands, B2C E-
Commerce already accounts for a high one-digit share of total retail sales, and in the UK this
share reaches a double-digit number and is one of the highest worldwide. Due to this fact, the
majority of B2C E-Commerce markets in Western Europe are projected to see only moderate
growth rates in B2C E-Commerce sales in the coming years, though still outpacing general retail
significantly.
Among the most prominent B2C E-Commerce market trends in Western Europe are the
rise of mobile shopping and omnichannel retail. Consumers in these countries are increasingly
using multiple devices and locations to make purchases. For example, in Italy the mobile share of
total online retail sales is predicted to more than double between 2014 and 2017, according to
yStats.com’s research findings. A marked example of the omnichannel trend is the growing
popularity of the click-and-collect option, especially in the UK, where it was used by over two
thirds of online shoppers in 2015.
A number of international companies have established themselves as market leaders in
Western European B2C E-Commerce. Amazon continues to hold the leading position in almost all
major markets in the region, in terms of sales, website visitors or both, as shown in yStats.com’s
report. Other pan-European leaders include Germany-based Otto Group and Zalando, while
France-based Cdiscount and UK-based Tesco generate significant sales and website traffic in their
respective domestic markets. Furthermore, Chinese E-Commerce Websites Alibaba and
Aliexpress are gaining popularity among Western European online shoppers, already finding
place among the top online shopping destinations in Spain.

GENERAL METHODOLOGY OF OUR MARKET REPORTS
 The reports are compiled based on secondary market
research. Secondary research is information gathered from
previously published sources. Our reports are solely based on
information and data acquired from national and international
statistical offices, industry and trade associations, business
reports, business and company databases, journals, company
registries, news portals and many other reliable sources. By using
various sources we ensure maximum objectivity for all obtained
data. As a result, companies gain a precise and unbiased
impression of the market situation.
 Cross referencing of data is conducted in order to
ensure validity and reliability.
 The source of information and its release date are
provided on every chart. It is possible that the information
contained in one chart is derived from several sources. If this is
the case, all sources are mentioned on the chart.
 The reports take into account a broad definition of B2C
E-Commerce, which might include mobile commerce. As
definitions may vary among sources, exact definition used by the
source (if available) is included at the bottom of the chart.
 Our reports include text charts, pie charts, bar charts,
rankings, line graphs and tables. Every chart contains an Action
Title, which summarizes the main idea/finding of the chart and a
Sub Title, which provides necessary information about the
country, the topic, units or measures of currency, and the
applicable time period(s) to which the data refers. With respect to
rankings, it is possible that the summation of all categories
amounts to more than 100%. In this case, multiple answers were
possible, which is noted at the bottom of the chart.
 Reports are comprised of the following elements, in the
following order: Cover page, preface, legal notice, methodology,
definitions, table of contents, management summary
(summarizing main information contained in each section of
report) and report content (divided into sections and chapters).
When available, we also include forecasts in our report content.
These forecasts are not our own; they are published by reliable
sources. Within Global and Regional reports, we include all major
developed and emerging markets, ranked in order of importance
by using evaluative criteria such as sales figures.
 If available, additional information about the data
collection, for example the time of survey and number of people
surveyed, is provided in the form of a note. In some cases, the
note (also) contains additional information needed to fully
understand the contents of the respective data.
 When providing information about amounts of money,
local currencies are most often used. When referencing currency
values in the Action Title, the EUR values are also provided in
brackets. The conversions are always made using the average
currency exchange rate for the respective time period. Should the
currency figure be in the future, the average exchange rate of the
past 12 months is used.
 The reports include mainly data from the last 12 months
prior to the date of report publication. Exact publication dates are
mentioned in every chart.
