1 in 5 Orders in CZ Comes from Marketplaces – Growing 100% YoY
What happened in Czechia is happening in Hungary – faster than you think.
How the Czech Republic is Becoming a Country of Marketplaces
Marketplaces are rapidly changing e-commerce in Czechia. Just a few years ago, they were almost non-existent. Today, they make up 20% of the total e-commerce market, and their growth is massive.
Czech e-commerce grew to €8 billion, up 5% from last year.
20% of that comes from marketplaces, both local and international.
International spending (Amazon, Shein, Temu) - 15%.
Some of the biggest local stores (Decatlon, Dr. Max) are soft of platforms.
Marketplaces are growing 100%+ year-over-year – and it’s just the beginning.

Hungary is next – Marketplace Summit Budapest
What’s happening in Czechia now will happen in Hungary soon. Marketplaces are not asking for permission – they are coming. In 2017, people in Czechia asked, “What’s Amazon?” Now it's a big part of the market.
Hungary is next, and it will happen even faster. Allegro and Emag are already growing fast.
I’ll be speaking at the Marketplace Summit Budapest, showing how Hungary can prepare for this shift.
