European market

The Netherlands

The Netherlands are one of the most active countries in Europe on e-commerce, 71% of all consumers buy products online.

An important reason for the growth of the e-commerce market is the trust that consumers have in the security regarding payments. Just

7% of the Dutch population is worried about this financial security.

Europe

In Western Europe the e-commerce market is expected to grow with 11% per year in the coming four years. De turnover from online

retail in Western Europe in 2009 was equal to € 68bln. Most of the European markets are relatively immature, except for the UK market.

The average amount of spending per person in 2009 was equal to € 483,- p.p. This average spending is expected to rise to € 601,-

in 2014.

Although the e-commerce market is quite an international market, only 7% of all European consumers buy their products in webshops

in other EU-countries.

Worldwide market

The global e-commerce turnover is expected to grow by 19% in 2011 to $ 680bln and $ 963bln in 2013.

The number of people who buy online still increases. 38% buys at least once per month. The amount of people who don’t shop online at

all is declined to 12% in 2010 compared to 20% in 2007.

In the US the turnover in the e-commerce market is expected to rise with 10% per year the coming four years to $ 249bln. The expected

turnover in 2011 is $ 187bln. One potential weakness in e-retail growth is the possibility of an internet sales tax.

Reasons for online shopping, which drive the growth of the e-commerce market are convenience, cheaper, wider productrange and saving

time.

Product segments

The most popular products to buy online differ per country. On average the most popular products include books, event-tickets and clothing.

In the early years of e-commerce, the physical media segment (books, CDs, DVDs) was the first one to break out and achieve mainstream acceptance.

Electronics is also a ‘early-adopter’ category, including computing, consumer electronics and appliances.

Sectors such as apparel are less conducive to e-

commerce and have taken longer to develop. Therefore

buying these products online is mainly popular in the

Trends in the e-commerce market (i)

Consumer loyalty:

The number of people who buy online is still growing, but eventually this growth will stabilise. Consumer loyalty is the key to real revenue

growth by online retailers. Loyal consumers are willing to pay a higher prices, buy more products, are easier to reach and are taking care of

free publicity. Recent research proves key properties of consumer loyalty are contact interactivity, convenience, care, choice, character,

cultivation, customization, community en confidentiality.

Cross-channel

To realise the growth in turnover , online retailers have to develop a cross-channel strategy in the coming years. Consumers will buy offline

as well as online and mobile commerce is a new channel, which will develop in the near future.

Cross channel retail is expected to be an important growth driver in the retailsector.

In the Netherlands 69% of the consumers buy products via 2 or more different channels, in the US this percentage is even higher, 78%.

Trends in the e-commerce market (ii)

Social Media

Social Media is mainly used by people between an age of 18-34. That’s why social media are an important medium for branding and

loyalty. Social Media is expected to become more important for online retailers.

Social Media is not yet used very often to share online purchasing activities.

Trends in the e-commerce market (iii)

Touchless e-commerce

Online retailers who don’t held stock on their own, but deliver directly from manufacturer to consumer on a JIT basis. This business

model will lead to a broader range of products, because a retailer can aggregate from multiple suppliers.

Mass-customization

Consumers can design, customize or even build their product from scratch.

Categories where customization is common in the off-line world are natural targets for the next wave of online players.

Payments

The Netherlands are actually quite unique regarding secure payment methods, using IDeal. Other used payment methods are Paypal and

Credit / Debit Cards.

The costs for buying by mobile is relatively expensive compared to the costs related on online shopping.

Mobile commerce

Mobile commerce

A research by Forrester proves that only 1% of the respondents in the Netherlands have bought a product via their mobile phone and 4%

responded they are interested in buying via mobile phone. In comparison to other European countries this percentage is very low.

Securer payment methods and sites that are adjusted to the size of mobile phone screens could lead to growth of popularity of mobile

commerce.

10

Although the Mobile commerce market is a relatively small and early stage market. The market is expected to grow enormously in the next

five years.

Mobile commerce (ii)

The most popular products bought via mobile commerce are take away food, cinema-tickets, music and dvd’s.

A downside of mobile commerce is that its growth could negatively effect brick and mortar stores.

The amount of clicks still increases each quarter. In five years the amount of clicks became three times higher in 2010 compared to the

starting level 2005, which indicated that it is a popular method of marketing.

Although the average CPC in the Netherlands did not reach the level of before the crisis, 2008Q2, it is expected that the average CPC will

increase further in the near future.

These costs per click are still much lower in the Netherlands than in other countries, therefore the Netherlands is a relatively inexpensive

country to market products via internet.

Google Base

Comparison sites are quite important for the success of e-commerce companies, the introduction of Google Base, another

comparison/auction site by Google, is expected to have a large influence on e-commerce companies.

Google Base is rated first in the TOP10 shopping engines, which list is based on traffic, revenue, COS% (spend/revenue), average CPC,

responsiveness and Merchant tools. The popularity of Google Base is among others related to its cost-free structure and highly regarded

Google Analytics tool.

Google Base is already introduced in US, Germany and UK and is expected to be introduced in the near future in the Netherlands. It is

recommended that e-commerce companies optimize their Google Base Strategy.

Video Advertising

Display and video ads can greatly increase retailers` site visits and brand name searches.

Internet retailers can use video advertising not just to drive consumers to the website in the first place, but also to reach back to them to

encourage them to purchase a product on their website.

Video advertising:

Increases the chance of a front-page Google result

Increases time spend on the website

Help visitors in making purchasing decisions

Increases purchase intent

17

33% of online retailers plan to add video to their sites in 2010, making it

a higher priority than any other advanced feature!

European investors are interested in investing in e-commerce companies. Some important aspects regarding this:

Focus on establishing a market-leading position

Capital efficiency (JIT-ordering and cash flow management)

International expansion

Growth potential

The e-commerce market is expected to grow further, but for online retailers to grow exceptionally there are different approaches:

Foreign investors

Private Equity is willing to invest in e-commerce companies in Europe. It is expected this will lead to consolidation in the market, which

will lead to larger e-commerce companies and a stronger competitiveness in the market.

Strategic Partner

There are several strategic e-commerce companies active in Europe, looking for acquisitions to expand their product segments or

geographical reach.

Geographical expansion

The Netherlands are too small to grow exceptionally, expansion to other countries is essential.
