The Marketplace Quadrant "Jewellery & Watches" 2024 shows the 51 most relevant B2C online marketplaces in Europe for this category. In addition to well-known and large players such as Amazon, Zalando, Galeries Lafayette, and Breuninger there are interesting niche and online pure players such as Miinto, 24S, Maty Bijoutier and Diemer.
Amazon also has an outstanding position for local e-commerce in Germany, other Western and Central European countries. But things look different in other nations. That's why an internationalization with Amazon is sometimes not enough.
Looking back on the 2023/2024 financial year, it is clear that even industry leaders such as Zalando and About You were not immune to the general economic challenges that shook online retail. Both companies reported slight declines in sales, but showed a strategic focus on healthy growth. Profitability at Zalando and AboutYou is a necessity in today's competitive environment.
