The Swiss e-commerce landscape is experiencing a shift in power, according to the latest rankings released by Carpathia, an e-commerce management consultancy. While Zalando maintains its position as the top online retailer in Switzerland despite a revenue drop, local player Galaxus is making significant strides.
Galaxus Surges to Number Two
Galaxus, the prominent Swiss online department store, has climbed the ranks to become the new number two player in the Swiss e-commerce market. This impressive feat comes despite a decline in revenue for Zalando, the previous leader. Galaxus’ success can likely be attributed to its focus on catering specifically to the needs of Swiss consumers and potentially offering a wider range of products tailored to the local market.
Temu Makes a Splash as New Entrant
The Carpathia rankings also highlight the arrival of a new player – Temu. This rising e-commerce platform has secured a spot within the top 10 biggest business-to-consumer stores in Switzerland, signifying its early traction within the market. Temu’s competitive pricing strategy and potentially diverse product selection could be factors contributing to its rapid rise.

Looking Ahead: A Dynamic E-commerce Market
