Summary of 2022 European E-commerce Report
Introduction
- Post-Pandemic Growth: E-commerce gained momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in 2020-2021, but growth slowed in 2022 amid economic headwinds including the war in Ukraine.
- Value: European e-commerce turnover reached €797 billion in 2021 (a 13% increase) and is expected to reach €872 billion by 2022, though growth slowed to around 11%.
EU Policies & Regulations
- Key Regulations: The Digital Services Act (DSA), Digital Markets Act (DMA), and new VAT rules are reshaping the digital landscape, aiming to combat illegal content, regulate online platforms, and simplify cross-border transactions.
- Sustainability Focus: New EU directives on waste management, the circular economy, and sustainability are driving eco-friendly practices, though implementation challenges persist.
Market Overview by Region

- Northern & Central Europe: Show lower GDP shares but are growth-focused, particularly in Estonia and Poland. E-commerce remains mostly focused on goods.
- Eastern & Southern Europe: Exhibit higher growth rates but relatively lower market shares. Countries like Ukraine, Romania, and Croatia show promising expansion and digitalization efforts.
Cross-Border & Regulatory Challenges

- Country-Specific Policies: Countries differ in their regulatory approaches. Examples include Germany's updated Vertical Block Exemption Regulation and Poland's VAT reforms.
Impact of the Ukraine War

Digitalization & Technology Use
