How Peak Season Affected E-Commerce Deliveries in Germany and the UK?
)
Peak season (Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas) in Europe is coming up! The peak season has always been characterized by the high volume of e-commerce orders and deliveries. A survey by Deloitte in 2019 suggested that Europeans had plans to spend at least 28% of their total holiday budget on gifts – the UK had an estimated holiday spending of €639 per person while Germany had an estimated holiday spending of €487 per person.
Economically, the UK is the sixth-largest economy in the world with $2.83 trillion GDP and ranked as Europe’s biggest B2C e-commerce market in 2019.
In comparison, Germany is known for holding the largest and strongest economy in Europe. On a global scale, it is the fourth-largest economy with $4 trillion GDP and ranked as Europe’s third-biggest online market in 2019.
With that in mind, Parcel Monitor did a comparison study between these economic powerhouses to examine how logistics players in these countries fared against the huge e-commerce orders during peak season.
