Austria – ideal entry market for German online shops

With EUR 7.5 billion, Austria is one of the leading growth markets for e-commerce in Europe, and its inhabitants are used to ordering abroad –  especially in Germany.

Moreover, there are no language barriers. According to a recent study by the Austrian trade association “Handelsverband”, spending in Austrian online retailing rose to a record level of EUR 7.5 billion in 2019.

More than every second, customer buys their goods abroad, and the trend is rising. Online shops should open up this market for themselves! Austria is an ideal entry market, especially for retailers from Germany.

Decisive arguments: There are no language barriers  –  existing article descriptions can be used one-to-one, and no additional language is required in customer service.

In addition, Austria is a member state of the EU, which means that there are generally no major barriers to German shops. Profit from this market  –  take advantage of the opportunities and grow with it!

As an integral part of the customer journey, the delivery experience is becoming increasingly important – and a top-of-the-line, customized shipping service can help your business grow.

According to international studies, more than half of online customers give fast delivery the first or second highest priority. The focus here is on delivery that is perfectly tailored to customer needs, but customer requirements are different in every country.
