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. With our partner steuerberaten.de we have developed five tips as a guide to help you achieve business success in Austria.
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 bought theier goods abroad, and the trend is rising. Online shops should open up this market for themselves! Especially for retailers from Germany, Austria is an ideal entry market.
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!
“In Austria especially German retailers have the advantage that there are no language barriers. In addition, the legal situation is very similar to that of Germans.”
