3. Europe
Ranking basis: by ECDB 2025 Europe GMV ranking (Amazon ~$232B #1, ≈ the sum of #2–10 at $244B), excluding Russia-local platforms Ozon/Wildberries (essentially unreachable for global merchants); #5 decided by company-disclosed GMV. AliExpress (ECDB #4), Shein (#7), and eBay (CBCommerce #3) are near-list platforms.

⚠️ Definition note: Amazon Europe GMV (ECDB, including 3P) is not directly comparable with Amazon International segment net sales ($142.9B/2024); Allegro PLN 69.2B is a group definition (Poland local PLN 66.4B); Shein "US+EU >$40B" (Modaes) uses a different definition from its US GMV ~$6B and global revenue $41.8B — do not mix.
2025 developments: the EU opened a DSA investigation into Temu (maximum fine 6% of global turnover); from July 2026 a €3/parcel small-package customs charge hits the direct-mail model; Zalando completed the ABOUT YOU acquisition; Vinted Germany turned to profit; AliExpress shifted toward local fulfillment.

QNini kinastahili kuangaliwa?
- EU ilizindua uchunguzi wa DSA kuhusu Temu (faini hadi 6% ya mauzo ya kimataifa); €3 /parcel-package duty kutoka Julai 2026 inagonga mfano wa barua-pepe ya moja kwa moja
- Zalando ilikamilisha upatikanaji wa ABOUT YOU; Soko la uuzaji wa mitumba barani Ulaya €21.6B (2025), linatarajiwa kuongeza €2B nyingine.
- Duka la TikTok lilizinduliwa katika nchi 6 za Ulaya kuanzia Aprili 2025, likilenga watumiaji milioni 200 wa EU kufikia 2026.
- Vyombo vya habari vya rejareja vya Ulaya hutumia €13.7B (+21.1%); Ukuaji wa Temu / Shein unapungua lakini msingi tayari ni mkubwa
QMaarifa muhimu ni yapi?
- Amazon Ulaya GMV (ECDB , ikiwa ni pamoja na 3P) haiwezi kulinganishwa moja kwa moja na mauzo ya kimataifa ya sehemu ya Kimataifa ($142.9B /2024)
- Temu sasa inalingana na Amazon katika mauzo ya mpakani (~24% sehemu ya mpakani kila moja)
- Kodi ya EU ya 2026 €3/kifurushi itabadilisha mtindo wa 'bei ya chini zaidi + barua pepe ya moja kwa moja'
