Hamburg, Germany, July 07, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Aside from Asia and North America, Western Europe has the third biggest B2C E-Commerce market worldwide, maintaining a strong one-digit share of the region’s retail sales during 2016, with this number expected to increase to double-digits in the coming years, according to estimates in the yStats.com report. Due to this, as well as high rates of Internet and online shopper penetration, Western Europe is deemed as an advanced market. Nonetheless, mobile and omnichannel commerce are championing further growth.
