Global B2C e-commerce turnover is forecast to reach over $2 trillion in 2019.
‘Global e-commerce offers huge potential but to harness it, the whole industry still needs to adapt its services. There is a need to further develop a frictionless international shopping experience that improves the whole process.’
Renaud Marlière, Chief Business Development Officer, Asendia
