About this report
About the market…
By 2003, the Dutch home shopping market had declined by 9% against 2002, impacted by the general economic slowdown and weak performance of non-food retailers. While sector was boosted by strong growth in e-commerce, the offline mail order and direct sales sectors registered a decline.
In 2003, the Dutch mail order sector fell by 27% to €1.03 billion against the previous year, although its performance had improved compared to five years earlier. However, mail order houses have been increasing their focus on online shopping and the leading mail order retailers already operate successful websites. As a proportion of all retail sales however the mail order sector has underperformed, declining from 1.6% in 1999 to 1.3% of all retail sales in 2003. The mail order sector is dominated by big book catalogues, but specialist and seasonal catalogues have also become popular.
