Third edition of the “TOP 500 Cross-Border Retail Europe”: an annual ranking of the top 500 European cross-border online shops
The ‘Top 500 Cross-Border Retail Europe’ edition is a major compilation of cross-border data from websites of European retailers. Ranking is obtained by weighting four parameters:
- Online cross-border sales in Europe (16 countries within Western Europe and Scandinavia)
- SEO-indicators covering cross-border performance
- Cross-border score determined on the amount of active countries
- Number and percentage of cross-border visitors
Six additional secondary weighted parameters fine-tune this ranking:
- Brand authority
- Organic search percentage
- Number of languages
- Number of currencies
- Number of payment methods
- Local supply availability (transport and stock services)
Based on the above-mentioned methodology, the TOP 10 “Elite” retailers for 2020 are:
- Top 1: Ikea
- Top 2: H&M
- Top 3: Pandora
- Top 4: Smyths Toys
- Top 5: Lego
- Top 6: Nespresso
- Top 7: Expert
- Top 8: Cos
- Top 9: Swarovski
- Top 10: & Other Stories
For the first time, this TOP 10 is dedicated to omnichannel retailers only. New entrants are Swarovski, Pandora, Expert, Cos and “& Other Stories”. Leavers are pure player marketplaces Zalando and Vivino, as well as C&A, Zara and Tomtom.
B2C online turnover from goods exploded with 24% over 2020 up to €573 billion. In 2020 cross-border e-commerce revenues (excluding travel) reached €146 billion in Europe; a record increase of 35% compared to 2019. Cross-border online sales outperformed total online sales. The main reason for this special achievement is the corona virus impact.
The TOP 500 Cross-Border Retail Europe “made in Europe” generates €53,25 billion within the EU16 representing a market share of 61% of the total cross-border eCommerce market in Europe with an increase in sales of 34% compared to 2019.
Within the TOP 10 representing 22,2% of the TOP 500 sales, Ikea maintains its leading position and achieves a cross-border turnover of €5.1 billion, an increase of 11% compared to 2019. The H&M group is taking the lion’s share with its 3 main brands: H&M, Cos and & Other Stories. The H&M e-shop has an average of 90% cross-border visitors, reaching nearly €4 billion cross-border turnover outside of Sweden in 2020. H&M demonstrates with “& Other Stories” that an online cross-border expansion strategy successfully outperformed new stores openings. “& Other Stories” has 74 stores in 22 markets and online shops in 33 countries.
The Covid-19 impact
As non-essential stores closed during the lockdown, retailers massively turned to online, prioritizing expanding cross-border trade through online shops. On average, omnichannel retailers saw an increase of 45% (up to +70% in Q4 2020) in online trade.
Nevertheless, fashion as the largest product category (half of the TOP 500 are fashion online shops), lost 15% turnover (online and offline) over 2020. The huge increase of online could not compensate the long lockdown closure of the stores. Food Mass Merchants increased their total turnover (online and offline) by +10% compared to 2019.
67% of Europeans appreciate the convenience of cross-border eCommerce. Brexit and the spread of the Coronavirus, confirmed a bright future for cross-border e-commerce in Europe.
“I want to warmly thank our research team and partners FedEx Express and Worldline for their support in establishing this new ranking. It makes the best European players in cross-border eCommerce transparent and stimulates the entire retail industry” concludes Carine Moitier, founder of CBCommerce.eu.[/vc_column_text][gem_button position=”center” corner=”3″ icon_pack=”elegant” text=”Buy your TOP500 analysis report here” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbcommerce.eu%2Fproduct%2Ftop-500-eu-cross-border-analysis-report-2020%2F|title:TOP%20500%20EU%20Cross-Border%20Analysis%20Report%202020″ background_color=”#604794″][vc_single_image image=”35898″ img_size=”large”][vc_column_text]
