Bocholt 2 is open for business

After continued growth in the European market, fulfilmentcrowd is delighted to announce the official opening of a second fulfillment centre in Germany. Located in Bocholt, the new purpose-built warehouse is just 600ft away from our existing facility and provides our new and existing customers with an additional 12,000 sq. ft of space to store and serve their customers’ orders.

New opportunities for eCommerce brands

fulfilmentcrowd has seen a sharp increase in the number of UK clients moving their stock into our European centres. Many of these online retailers highlight that moving into the EU has enabled them to better serve their European customers by avoiding the delays Brexit has caused as well as any additional charges that come with cross-border selling.

Additionally, there has been significant growth in the eCommerce market in Germany due to the coronavirus pandemic, with a shift in consumers buying online. Statistics show the Jewellery, Books, and Fashion sectors are the fastest-growing, with the over-60s driving the increased demand. Germany is the third-largest business-to-consumer eCommerce market in the EU with a value of €94 billion, which accounts for 11% of the total retail market (JP Morgan 2020). It is only surpassed by the UK, with an incredible €214.3bn eCommerce market, and France in second place with €103.4bn.

Germany and the rest of the DACH regions are powerhouses of eCommerce growth. Now is the right time for eCommerce brands to make the most of the lucrative opportunities these markets have to offer. These regions boast strong distribution networks, established consumer markets, and a variety of marketplace and payment platforms similar to the UK market, providing low-risk market entry for UK brands.
