?? E-Commerce in Ireland 2025: Insights from Our Logistics Expert!
As we step into 2025, Ireland’s e-commerce landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, presenting both exciting opportunities and new challenges for businesses.
?? Shifting Consumer Habits
Traditionally, Irish consumers preferred in-store shopping experiences. However, this trend is rapidly changing. According to recent data, online shopping is growing at an annual rate of 8.2%, with more and more consumers embracing digital platforms for their purchases. This shift is also evident among our clients, many of whom were previously focused solely on physical retail. Early this year, several approached us for e-commerce solutions as they began to notice a decline in offline sales.
?? The Rise of Amazon.ie
The launch of Amazon Ireland (.ie) last year marked a turning point. Before its establishment, Irish shoppers relied on Amazon UK, facing higher shipping costs and longer delivery times. Now, with Amazon.ie in full swing, sellers on the platform have a golden opportunity to tap into the growing Irish e-commerce market.
?? New Product Safety Regulations
The introduction of the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) in late 2024 is a game-changer. The EU’s stricter requirements on product quality and safety mean businesses must ensure cmpliance to maintain consumer trust and market access.
E2G Ireland believes that proactive strategies, early market entry, and adherence to regulations will be crucial for businesses looking to thrive in the evolving Irish e-commerce landscape. As the market continues to grow, being adaptable and customer-focused will make all the difference.
