Europe Amazon: Creating an Ecosystem Market Report 2023
£ 2,195 (Excl.Tax)
Description
“Amazon is the undisputed leader of the dynamic online retailing market in Europe. It is set to benefit as the channel continues to gain popularity across product and service categories and it has benefitted greatly from the pandemic. It is forecast that Amazon’s rise will continue, albeit with growth not as high as the inflated levels seen in 2020, fuelled by greater demand for convenience and the wider range of brands online. The region presents good prospects for the company as the market is shaped by shifting consumer priorities driven by growing sustainability awareness, interest in rapid delivery services and an appetite for new services.”
