Why Germany is Perfect for E-commerce
Germany isn’t just the largest economy in Europe – it’s also highly interconnected with the rest of the continent. Over 70% of German consumers shop online, making it the second-largest e-commerce market in Europe, only behind the UK. With a fulfillment center here, your products are a short transit away from most European destinations, and customers expect fast delivery options. Additionally, Germany’s robust infrastructure – highways, rail, and air freight – ensures efficient, reliable movement of goods. Over 90% of packages are delivered on the next day in Germany and shipping times to the rest of the European Union are 2-4 business days.

- High Purchasing Power: The EU has one of the world’s highest purchasing power rates, offering an enormous opportunity for businesses targeting customers with disposable income.
