This statistic shows the answers to a survey question asking from which countries Dutch consumers bought their foreign B2C e-commerce purchases in 2017 and, according to the source, indirectly asking whether or not the likes of Aliexpress, Amazon or eBay were being used in the Netherlands in 2017. Approximately 45 percent of the respondents indicated they at least once purchased something online from China. According to a 2016 survey, clothing and footwear were among the most popular products to be purchased abroad.
Unlike many other countries in Europe, Amazon is not active in the Netherlands. Instead, the e-commerce company uses a partially translated version of their German website to appeal to the Dutch audience. Within the Netherlands, Bol.com and Coolblue are the leading webshops, with revenues reaching respectively 1.22 billion euros and 844 million euros in 2017.
