Exploring New Trends and Challenges in E-commerce
This year, our teams from Landmark Global and bpostgroup participated and contributed to the vibrant discussions that delve into the latest trends and challenges shaping the e-commerce landscape. Among these trends, the following key insights emerged:
The Rise of Cross-Border E-commerce
It is estimated that by 2023, nearly 20% of all e-commerce transactions will be cross-border, with a projected 45% increase in global consumers purchasing across borders. This highlights the immense potential for retailers to tap into international markets and necessitates a focus on delivering seamless, personalized experiences to overcome language barriers, currency conversions, and longer delivery times.
Customer Experience as a Competitive Edge
Customer experience remains a crucial determinant of success in cross-border e-commerce. Shoppers now demand personalized experiences, fast and convenient delivery options, secure payment processes, and top-quality customer service. To stand out, businesses must prioritize customer-centric approaches and leverage technology to offer tailored, efficient, and secure solutions.

The event provided invaluable insights into the ever-evolving world of e-commerce and highlighted the critical importance of cross-border success for retailers in today's global marketplace.
