Belgian Distance Selling Organisation!
3. In March 2013 BeCommerce ran a major member survey into the current situation
of e-commerce in Belgium and distance seller expectations for 2013. Focusing on
the expected growth of the industry, most sold products online, logistical services,
payment methods and new this year, mobile commerce.!
!
I’m glad to announce that the Belgian e-commerce market is catching up with their
neighbours. But there is still much room for improvement and expansion. And this
is exactly where BeCommerce and its partners will provide the necessary support
and knowledge.!
