Among European internet users, 74% of men shop online, slightly higher than women, and 25-34 year olds are more active than other age groups.
European online shoppers love to buy clothes (including sportswear), shoes or accessories, communication equipment, home appliances, furniture, home accessories or garden products, cosmetics, beauty or health products, sporting goods, children’s toys or child care products.
In terms of the value of the e-commerce industry, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom are the “Big Three” in Europe, occupying a large share of the European e-commerce industry. Moreover, French consumers’ online shopping habits are more stable than other European countries.

Sprzedaż e-commerce stanowiła 14,1% ogólnej sprzedaży detalicznej, w porównaniu z 13,4% w 2020 r. O 11% wzrosła także liczba aktywnych sprzedawców.

At a time when the world is facing inflation, the euro zone inflation rate has reached a record level since 1997. In order to slow down the inflationary shock, the French government has taken a number of measures to curb price increases. INSEE’s recent economic report shows that France’s purchasing power is resisting soaring prices. Although French purchasing power fell in the first two quarters of this year, it will rebound in the last quarter.
Economists estimate that French purchasing power will increase by 2023 and inflation will moderate in January. Furthermore, because of its nuclear power, France is the least affected country in Europe by the energy crisis.
Thus, in a period of slowing economic activity, France is a relatively resilient European country.
In 2021, the sales of beauty products in the French market will increase significantly, with sales increasing by 9% to 2.689 billion euros. In this category, the fastest-growing product is home fragrance; consumers are also keen to buy high-end fragrances and concentrated fragrances; sales of care products increased by 5% and volume increased by 17%; color cosmetics sales increased by 5% compared to 2020 %, consumers focused their purchases on the eye and nails segment; sales of hair care products increased by 43% over the previous year.
Ponadto modna odzież i produkty do dekoracji mebli również zapoczątkowały ciągły wzrost we Francji, odnotowując wzrost odpowiednio o około 6% i 18%, a sprzedaż towarów szybko zbywalnych wzrosła o 6% rok do roku.
Warto podkreślić, że Francja jest ściśle powiązana z trzema głównymi zapleczami gospodarczymi Europy Północnej, Europy Wschodniej i Europy Południowej i ma zdolność przewodzenia trendowi modowemu w całej Europie, a nawet na świecie. Jeśli dany produkt będzie dobrze sprzedawał się we Francji, znacznie zwiększy to sprzedaż na innych rynkach.
Średnia miesięczna sprzedaż 130 000 euro
