Interesting facts about the Belgian e-commerce market
Belgium is potentially one of the strongest markets with a high standard of living. The Western European country is home to two main language groups – Dutch and French speakers. It is essential to take this fact into account when translating and localizing. Although most people also speak English, the site needs to offer a choice of three languages.
Belgian customers care about sustainability. Together with free shipping and the required high quality of the goods, they are decisive elements for making purchases. Local hauliers are also taking the initiative. These include the electrification of fleets, the introduction of parcel machines, and the popularity of bicycle couriers. The most common payment method is Bancard – up to 70% of customers pay with it.
Although the country is not a pioneer in e-commerce, it is expected that in the next few years this shopping behavior will be a common feature. That is why the Belgian Government is currently working on a comprehensive legislative package to support this.
