Helsingborg Strengthens it's position as Sweden's E-commerce Powerhouse

"According to a report from E-commerce Park of Sweden (disclaimer: Karsten Deppert, initiator of this website, is also co-founder of E-commerce Park of Sweden), the Helsingborg region has solidified its position as a cornerstone of Sweden's e-commerce landscape. Representing 39% to 54% of the country's total e-commerce market, between 54 to 76 billion SEK. The new report by E-commerce Park of Sweden highlights how the region, known for its strategic location, robust logistics infrastructure, and thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, has become a vital hub for digital commerce."

"Helsingborg's unique advantages, including its location in the Øresund region, a strong tradition of trade, and a well-developed logistics network have made it a magnet for e-commerce businesses. The city is home to a mix of global giants and innovative startups, all benefiting from a supportive ecosystem that spans technology development, marketing, and international expansion."

"The region hosts headquarters, warehouses, and key operations for some of Sweden's most prominent e-commerce brands, including IKEA, NA-KD, CDON, Tailor Store, Boozt, and Coolstuff.
