A look at Nordic e-commerce

Once shoppers returned to in-person stores after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce experienced a decline. In the Nordic countries, retail e-commerce generated roughly 42 billion U.S. dollars in revenue in 2022. A decrease of nearly three billion euros compared to 2021. Comparing the year-on-year change, e-commerce revenue dropped 17 percent between the fourth quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2022. Despite the current revenue dip, the long-term outlook for the e-commerce market in the Nordics remains positive.
