The Finland online stores they broke all past records at the end of 2017. The number of online orders increased by 8.2 percent during the last quarter, compared to the same period in 2016. And sales increased by 9.4 percent during this same period. .

This was shown to us by Vilkas Group, a Finnish ecommerce solution provider. They studied the local e-commerce industry and found this total, the e-commerce index in Finland increased by 8.7 percent and ended with a large 2787 points. Last year, full-year growth was 10 percent compared to 2016.

The Finnish postal agencies Posti they delivered more than 37 million packages this past year, which is a new record for the company, and this was thanks to the many online consumers who made various purchases over the Christmas period. Compared to 2016, Posti's parcel volume increased by 9 percent.

According to Vilkas Group, Posti's statistics show that ecommerce in Finland has had a very impressive performance against the pressure caused by other foreign online stores. Finnish online stores try to keep the purchases of their own inhabitants within the same country, but for this to be done they competed against foreign online markets which is not easy at all.

If we pay more attention to the numbers, we can realize that in December the number of orders grew by 9.2 percent compared to the same month in 2016. But at the same time, sales in euros during this month increased by 3 percent. hundred. The low increase in sales can be explained by Finnish online sellers being forced to respond to aggressive prices from foreign countries.
