Medium and large e-shops in Slovakia and Czechia plan investments into growth and marketing and eye expansion abroad, according to a survey compiled by Seyfor in Slovakia and involving more than 430 e-shops in both countries.
“Slovak and Czech e-commerce currently favours medium and large actors,” Slovak online news outlet Aktuality.sk highlighted as findings of the survey.
“Long-term growth is achieved by 38% of e-shops, stagnation or a drop in business by 16%,” Aktuality.sk also wrote, adding that “larger e-shops are more resilient to market fluctuations thanks to spread and investments”.
The survey also shows that 46% of e-shops experience periods of ups and downs, but that their development remains “approximately the same level”.
In terms of size, only 19% of the mini e-shops reported growth, while 55% of medium sized e-shops reported growth, and less than a third stagnation. Of the large e-shops 57% reported growth and only 4% stagnation.
The survey was compiled together with Czech agency B-inside.
