E-commerce

Although the Latvian e-commerce market is one of the smallest in the Baltic States, it is growing steadily. The main e-commerce platform in the country is 220.lv. It is owned by the Lithuanian company Pigu and offers goods in various categories, such as electronics, personal care, and clothing. In July 2023, 220.lv recorded 2.5 million visits, which is one of the highest visitor numbers among online marketplaces in the Baltic states.

Below, we have prepared a few interesting figures and graphs that illustrate the current state of e-commerce.
