“E-commerce is a large and growing part of the Polish economy, with online sales expected to make up 12.5% of our country’s GDP by 2025.

The publication, created for entrepreneurs that already have an e-commerce presence as well as those who want to start selling their products online, includes information on customer expectations, supply chain optimization, and tips on how to start selling in foreign markets.

“The logistics services market, like e-commerce, is constantly changing and responding to the growing e-commerce sector and shifting consumer demands. Speed and convenience are key aspects to ensuring customer satisfaction,” said Patrycja Sass-Staniszewska, president, Izba Gospodarki Elektronicznej. “Logistics companies need to ensure reliable delivery, possibility of easy returns and international shipping options. These are all key ways that online retailers can differentiate themselves, and it makes choosing the right logistics partner extremely important.”
