Retail E-Commerce in Belgium

In the context of the inflation crisis, in 2023, consumers showed a tendency to frequent physical stores in search of promotions and lower prices, both in terms of grocery and non-grocery items. This trend, coupled with the added cost of home delivery resulted in only moderate growth for retail e-commerce in 2023. However, in 2024, as prices stabilised and pressure on purchasing power started to slowly ease, retail e-commerce saw stronger growth in current value terms.
