“Whereas electronic commerce kept the economy open and moving during the restrictions caused by the pandemic, we are seeing robust growth this year, too, fueled by a higher and higher number of people shopping online. For the first time, in 2021 more than half of the Romanian internet users (54%), almost 25% more than last year, will buy something online,” said the executive director of ARMO Florinel Chis.
“We will therefore overshoot a milestone, which confirms the significant role the electronic commerce will be playing in the economy of the future.”
Romania remains among the countries with the highest increase in online sales, as Luca Cassetti, the secretary general of Ecommerce Europe, said during the conference of ARMO marking the second edition of the National Electronic Commerce Day.
