Online Marketplaces

Why online marketplaces?

56% of global ecommerce sales take place on online marketplaces. By 2027, they will be the largest and fastest-growing retail channel globally and the sector will be worth over $5tn. If you are not selling on online marketplaces, you are missing out on a huge portion of the market. Conversely, those that leverage these platforms effectively have enormous potential to drive sales and generate growth. Selling via marketplaces can also be a fast, low risk way to understand and enter new markets. Let us help you export your products to consumers around the world through marketplaces, by connecting you to our marketplace partners all over the world.
