Notes / gaps for the writer
- Europe-wide average annual spend per shopper and Europe's exact % share of global ecommerce were not pinned by open sources found — flag in report or verify via eMarketer/Statista (paywalled).
- Otto and Cdiscount 2024-25 figures were not surfaced — check BEVH (DE) and FEVAD (FR) reports directly.
- DSA enforcement on marketplaces not captured in these searches; the regulatory story here centers on the de minimis/€150 exemption removal and €3/parcel duty (effective ~July 2026).
- Definitional conflicts flagged inline: +7% (2024 achieved vs 2025 forecast); Germany €83.1bn (goods-only 2025) vs ~€110bn (incl. services 2025); Italy €90.6bn (2025) vs €62bn (older).
- Many numbers are from secondary summaries (AMZ123, ecommercenews, CEP Research) of primary reports (Ecommerce Europe, BEVH, FEVAD, CNMC, NETCOMM, Thuiswinkel) — cite the primary body in the final report where possible.
