Marketplace share grew in 9 of 10 European markets, and in some countries itโ€™s already knocking on the 50% door.

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น Austria: 48.7%

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Germany: 47.2%

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Italy: 45.8%

Meanwhile, the UK and Belgium jumped another 2.4 percentage points each, as marketplaces continue growing faster than traditional ecommerce.

But hereโ€™s where it gets interesting:

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท France sits at just 32.9%

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช Ireland at 32.8%

Same Europe. Very different ecom game.

Country-by-country economics still rule the game.

๐Ÿ”ด Still not on Ecom Europe? Youโ€™re leaving money on the table โ€” and the table keeps getting BIGGER!
