[White paper] Succeed in your international development with marketplaces

The rise of marketplaces is driven by the growing number of companies adopting them to facilitate online sales, accelerate international expansion and broaden the product range while improving processes, logistics and costs. We have seen key international retailers follow this path, such as Walmart or Target. However, thanks to new technologies, changing sales models, and changes in consumer behaviour, a number of new entrants have entered niches or new markets. These new platforms are now attracting a wide variety of retailers, brands, and international retailers.

Marketplaces are no longer simply offering a simple experience. They are removing the complexity of the buying journey and turning it into a daily activity, allowing consumers to plan their purchases in a sustainable and personalized way. Marketplaces represent powerful growth levers for your online business and offer many advantages: greater visibility, a new audience, diversification of your revenue sources, limited investments, rapid international development, etc. However, before getting started, it is important to ask yourself the right questions: What do I need to sell on these platforms? Which marketplaces are the most suitable for my business and my objectives? What key steps do I need to take to successfully integrate?
