NL: More web shops in retail trade

17 June 2016

A growing number of retailers sell online in the Netherlands, as shown by figures of Statistics Netherlands (CBS). The percentage has soared from 24% in 2010 to 42% 5 years later. Consumers are making more purchases on the internet and online turnover is growing faster than turnover in stores.
In 2015 one quarter of the Dutch companies with 10 or more employees were engaged in e-commerce. The share has barely increased over the past few years. Online sales account for 13% of total turnover at companies. With 25%, the Netherlands ranked above the EU average of 19% of companies engaged in e-commerce. The highest ranking is taken by Ireland at 32% (News Item CBS, 14 June 2016).
