As we kick off the new year, it is clear that the trading landscape is being reshaped by the evolution of e-commerce and international trade. The global e-commerce market is projected to reach approximately $6.56 trillion by the end of 2025, marking a 7.8 per cent increase from the previous year. The appetite for cross-border shopping is also continuing to grow, as consumers seek unique products from around the world, and despite facing global economic uncertainties, the industry has shown the ability to adapt through changing market dynamics.
However, to truly thrive in this evolving landscape, e-commerce businesses should be acknowledging and taking advantage of emerging trends. We’re seeing new markets begin to emerge and open up considerable opportunities for UK businesses. Countries such as Turkey, Romania, Poland and Hungary hold exceptional potential thanks to major growth rates in GDP. These countries offer promising opportunities for e-commerce businesses due to increasing access to high-speed internet, more mobile commerce and rising numbers of consumers with spending power. However, to identify and capitalise on these opportunities, thorough market research will be essential. Businesses should explore how trade agreements can enhance their global reach.
