Leading European online retailers have closely followed the dynamic increase in internet use in Eastern Europe over the last few years. Although not yet up to Western standards, almost all Eastern European markets are experiencing strong growth. This is the insight gleaned from the latest yStats.com report titled “B2C E-Commerce and Internet Trends in 18 Eastern European Countries, September 2010.”

In Russia B2C e-commerce is a particularly promising segment, attracting more and more international companies such as eBay. For 2010 a strong growth in revenue of 30% is expected for all online retail activities in Russia. Household appliances and telecommunications products are among the most popular categories.

The Russian B2C E-Commerce market is expected to reach between USD 5.3 billion and USD 6 billion in 2010, with almost 6 million people who ordered or paid for goods and services via the Internet during March 2010.

In Poland 25% of all consumers bought products online in 2009, while revenue generated from online retail accounted for 3.2 billion EUR. For 2010 a growth rate of 18% is expected, which is believed to be largely attributed to online auction platforms. After the take-over of online shop Merlin.pl by its competitor Empik.com, a Polish counterpart to Amazon.com is being established.

In 2009, in the Czech Republic the number of internet users over the age of 40 grew compared to the prior year, while the number of internet users below the age of 30 decreased. The most important B2C online retailer in August 2010 was Aukro.cz with 1.6 million unique visitors, followed by Alza.cz with 0.8 million unique visitors.
