The Belgian eCommerce industry was worth 8.2 billion euros in 2015 going on to be worth 9.6 billion euros in 2016.
The Belgian population is known to shop on foreign sites, especially Dutch eCommerce sites, as the uplift in online retail within Belgium was slow to adopt the industry.
Import data reflects the reliance on Belgium's neighbors, as they import goods mainly from Germany, France, the UK and of course the Netherlands. As the home of the EU and NATO Belgium is a key player in Europe, as well as being an ever-increasing player in terms of eCommerce.
