NL: More and more e-shoppers

16 June 2016

More and more people in the Netherlands are buying goods and services online. In 2015, 71% in the Dutch population bought online, positioning the Netherlands in the EU top five. According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS), most consumers spend between 100 and 500 euros per purchase. In the other EU countries, the number of e-shoppers in the age category 16-74 is also growing. In 2005, one-quarter of Europeans were e-shoppers, versus more than half in 2015. In the United Kingdom, Denmark, Luxembourg and Germany more people buy goods and services online than in the Netherlands. In countries in Eastern Europe e-shopping is far less common (News Item CBS, 14 June 2016).
