Potential of Amazon Netherlands
The launch of the Amazon Netherlands marketplace is exciting. Since the Netherlands is rapidly growing into one of the most important European countries for e-commerce.
According to Amazon, more than 9 out of 17 million Dutch residents use e-commerce. Amazon reported that online turnover in the Netherlands was 23.7B in 2018. Despite a considerably smaller population, the Netherlands online expense per capita is 273% higher than Italy and 138% higher than Spain.
For those reasons, the Netherlands represents a great opportunity to reach a wider audience with high selling potential.
Amazon Netherlands Catalog Is Expanding
The translation of German products into Dutch has already been taking place for several years. Amazon is thus becoming a serious competitor to the current Dutch market leader bol.com which had a turnover of 2.1 billion euros in 2018.
The selection process presumably prioritizes the best sellers from EU marketplaces. Sellers who own the ASINs selected for migration can choose to opt them out. But at this time, they cannot request specific ASINs to be added to the migration list.
The migrated ASINs are “localized”. This means that Amazon’s translation team runs them through software to change the language to Dutch. Localization does not incur a fee.
Opportunities With Amazon.nl
With over 4 million customers, the leading marketplace in the Netherlands bol.com shows the relevance of the Dutch online market.
Amazon will offer Dutch customers a strong shopping experience. The selling and growth potential target through targeted Amazon marketing is very high. You can secure sustainable competitive advantages through a professional Amazon.nl strategy with market analysis, keyword optimization, SEO content, and A+ content. If Amazon advertising is also released in the Netherlands, your product data should already be at a high level in order to have a chance to get as many paid clicks as possible and use them as efficiently.
