Parcelhub – part of the Whistl Group, has launched a guide for UK eCommerce retailers covering the latest global challenges facing the sector and how to navigate and take advantage of the opportunities they present.
In an industry snapshot, the expert-led research highlights:
- Global cross-border eCommerce generated revenues of $1.1 trillion in 2024, a huge leap from the $562 billion value prior to the Covid-19 pandemic
- The United Kingdom is the world’s top cross-border destination, with $118.4 billion worth of import revenue
- Europe remains the biggest region for cross-border eCommerce
- UK eCommerce retailers and exporters face a slew of new regulatory and economic headwinds
- Trump Tariffs have the potential to severely hamper UK brands shipping to the U.S
The guide provides eCommerce retailers with tips for navigating the challenges to trade uncertainty presented by the Trump Tariffs, Windsor Framework, and the implementation of EU ICS2. More importantly, it provides guidance on the emerging cross-border opportunities.
Ian Keilty, CEO Whistl, said: “This is an invaluable guide for eCommerce retailers that are facing uncertainty in trying to trade internationally. Through Parcelhub, we can work with them to develop a clear export strategy that can adapt to different scenarios by utilising our multi-carrier delivery management expertise.”
