The Austrian B2C e-commerce market is projected to grow steadily at an annual rate of 6.6%, expected to reach $19.22 billion by 2025. This growth is attributed to the increasing focus on mobile-first experiences, alternative delivery solutions, and sustainability initiatives. Despite significant foreign marketplace dominance, domestic retailers are encouraged to differentiate through service innovation and localized offerings to handle ongoing competitive pressures. In 2024, online sales accounted for roughly €10.6 billion, with key sectors being clothing, consumer electronics, and furniture. With regulations on cross-border competition tightening, Austrian merchants are also enhancing local fulfillment and payment capabilities to sustain growth.
