Ecommerce News has found that the Netherlands is the most popular destination for online retailers looking to expand.
These e-commerce players see this Western European country as the number one place to extend their logistics operations.
The main reason for that is because the country has a high internet and e-commerce penetration and offers a great infrastructure: there’s Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, the Port of Rotterdam, and many other transport routes to the rest of Europe.
And the share of e-commerce in total retail sales in the Netherlands is growing fast: from less than 5% in 2010 to almost 18% last year. And the share is predicted to increase to over 23% by 2025.
This is one of the findings from the European Logistics Occupier Survey, a survey among over 100 European users of logistics real estate.
