#### **Asendia**, a global leader in ecommerce and mail solutions, present its latest **Markets to Watch guide**, an insightful resource designed to help retail and e-commerce experts identify and unlock new opportunities in key global markets. 

This comprehensive guide explores high-potential e-commerce destinations spanning Europe, North America, Australia, and beyond, providing valuable insights into market-specific trends, consumer behaviour, and logistical considerations.

The "Markets to Watch" guide examines the dynamic e-commerce landscapes of France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, and Canada. It highlights the distinct characteristics and opportunities within each market, offering actionable insights for e-tailers looking to expand their global reach.

 

##### France: Sustainability Drives Growth

France continues to be a fertile ground for e-commerce, with consumers increasingly valuing sustainable shopping practices. **Bénédicte Denni, Senior e-PAQ Product Manager at Asendia**, highlights that 70% of French e-shoppers prefer retailers that offer eco-friendly delivery options.

The French e-commerce market is projected to reach €200 billion by 2027, driven by a focus on sustainability and the resale economy, which could be worth €14 billion by 2030. Retailers that align with these values stand to benefit significantly from the market’s expansion.

 

##### United Kingdom: Resilient Post-Brexit Growth in a well-established e-commerce landscape

Despite economic headwinds and Brexit-related changes, the UK remains Europe’s largest e-commerce market. **Thomas Sjolin, CEO of Asendia Nordics,** points out that 81.5% of UK consumers engage in online shopping, driven by the adoption of hybrid working patterns that have persisted post-pandemic. The UK’s postal network is renowned for its reliability and efficiency, an impressive 94% of orders are delivered successfully on the first attempt. Additionally, 59% of shoppers prefer having their purchases delivered to their homes, reflecting a strong demand for convenient delivery options.

With a well-established e-commerce infrastructure and a consumer base accustomed to online shopping, the UK market continues to offer substantial potential for e-tailers.

 

##### US and Canada: High-Spending, Tech-Savvy Consumers

The North American e-commerce market continues to thrive, with the US surpassing $1 trillion in online sales in 2022 and e-commerce revenue growth seeing a remarkable 101% increase since 2019. **Sarah Clewlow, Asendia’s Director of Commercial Networks**, highlights the trust American consumers have in their delivery services and the significant growth in sectors such as fashion, electronics, and health & beauty. Out of the top 500 online stores by total net sales in the US, 5 stores generated 42% of all sales in 2021.

Canada’s strong e-commerce infrastructure and proximity to the US provide substantial opportunities for cross-border trade. 25% of Canadians consider next day delivery important.

With high consumer confidence and innovative market dynamics, North America offers significant potential for e-tailers looking to tap into a large, affluent audience.
