Report Summary

Download today our first edition of the RetailX Benelux 360° report. This new format reports on the digital landscape in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, consumers’ attitudes to shopping online and details of the retailers that lead the market.

These are analysed through charts and a RetailX ranking of the Top100. The report investigates market dynamics, retailer performance and the ongoing trends shaping online and omnichannel retailing in the region. 

Sustainability, retail media, subscriptions, instore services, payments and marketplaces are covered in individual sections. Company profiles showcase the retailers standing out in the market.

The ecommerce market in Benelux is growing, much of it cross-border, as consumers shop easily between the three countries as well as from their neighbours and elsewhere. The Netherlands is the largest market with a mature online ecosystem while Luxembourg leads the way in cross-border online sales.

RetailX Benelux 360° is one of a series of reports offering a practical guide to retailers selling in different countries and regions either from within the market or outside.
