In the Netherlands, e-commerce was worth 22.5 billion euros in 2017. This is a growth of 13 percent compared to the situation one year before. The Dutch made a total of 201 million online purchases last year, 17 percent more than in 2016.

It is the first year that the smartphone is more popular as a shopping device than the tablet. 28 percent of the online shoppers used a smartphone as shopping device in 2017.
