Cross-Border Commerce Europe launches the first edition of the “Top 100 Cross-Border Marketplaces Europe”

12 UK marketplaces in the Top 100, Farfetch and Depop in Top 20

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The UK’s Farfetch (9th) and Depop (20th) show how pure marketplaces dominate the TOP 100 Cross-Border Marketplaces in Europe, but sales of second-hand items from consumer-to-consumer sales are growing fast. The findings are revealed in the first Cross-Border Commerce Europe study that maps the best 100 global marketplaces.

  • 68% of TOP 100 are “pure” Marketplaces that sell third-party products, like Farfetch.
  • C2C Marketplaces represent 36% of this TOP 100, including UK’s Depop and Bump.
  • 41% of the TOP 100 sell second-hand goods.

The study also makes estimations for 2025:

  • “Pure” Marketplaces will increase from 68% to 75% market share.
  • The C2C share of used goods will increase from 41% to 50%.
  • The sale of second-hand items will be 1.5 times greater than that of fast fashion and will represent 13% of the average wardrobe.

The total cross-border e-commerce market in Europe (EU 28, including the UK) represents a turnover of €143 billion in 2019. Of this, €84 billion, or 59%, is generated by Marketplaces. Amazon has the lion’s share of course, with a turnover of €32 billion in 2019, which is almost a quarter of the market, up 18.5% compared to 2018.
