Swiss e-Commerce is healthy and growing. In 2015 90% of Swiss internet users shopped online, totalling some 4.7 million consumers, with the market up 13% on the previous year. Several categories are of particular note, such as fashion & luxury – 52% of online shoppers are “fashion shoppers” according to the Observatory on Swiss Digital Behaviours, published in November 2015, and also travel, which the same report found has the highest expenditure per purchase of all online sales. What’s more, quality Swiss products, reliability, efficient logistics and payment security are highly attractive to foreign shoppers, particularly from Germany, France and the USA, with the recent study, The Swiss Factor in e-Commerce highlighting that there are over 30m international shoppers interested in buying Swiss goods online.

Switzerland truly is the perfect place to be in and invest in e-Commerce.
