The Benelux region’s ecommerce sector is especially intriguing for a number of reasons. In itself, the region represents a sophisticated Northern European market. In great part because of its internationally important ports, most notably Rotterdam, it’s also an area that’s key to wider European ecommerce, an area central to logistics across the whole continent. It’s a region where, even within individual countries, retailers have to tackle nuances around customer behaviour because, for example, consumers speak different languages.
