The European market has long been a promising space for eCommerce sellers, and now, with shifting consumer behaviors and evolving market dynamics, it offers more opportunities than ever. Recent data highlights significant growth in retail eCommerce across the European Union (EU), with total revenues projected to increase from $631.9 billion in 2023 to $902.3 billion by 2027—an impressive 9.3% growth rate. For print-on-demand (POD) sellers, this expansion presents a golden opportunity to capitalize on a growing market and diversify revenue streams, especially with products like Dreamship’s new EU Edge to Edge Mug line.
Let's explore why selling POD products in the EU is a smart move, how to navigate the unique challenges of the market, and introduce Dreamship’s latest offering that’s tailor-made for this region.
The Changing eCommerce Landscape in Europe
Traditionally, the EU market has lagged a few years behind the US in terms of eCommerce adoption, but recent shifts in online shopping behaviors signal a change. Countries like the UK, Germany, and France lead in per capita consumer spending, with numbers as high as $33,367 (UK) and $27,800 (Germany), far above the global average of $14,117. This indicates that consumers in these regions are not only spending more online, but they are increasingly seeking quality products with fast delivery.
In addition, cross-border eCommerce is thriving, with countries like Luxembourg (80% of retail sales online), Ireland, and Austria showing robust growth in online shopping. Cross-border market share in these regions presents a huge opportunity for sellers to tap into consumers beyond their local borders, especially when shipping directly from production facilities in Europe.
Opportunities Created by EU Import Policies
Another key factor boosting the attractiveness of the European market for POD sellers is the recent increase in import taxes on goods shipped from China. Many EU nations are imposing higher tariffs on Chinese imports, making it more advantageous for consumers to purchase items produced within Europe. This creates a competitive edge for sellers who can offer locally produced POD products—such as Dreamship’s Edge-to-Edge Mug line—ensuring faster delivery and avoiding high import taxes.
Navigating Cultural and Seasonal Differences in the EU Market
One of the complexities of selling in the EU is understanding the region’s cultural and political diversity. For instance, while the US typically celebrates holidays like Father’s Day on the same date nationwide, the timing and popularity of holidays in Europe can vary significantly between countries. Father’s Day in the UK may not align with when it’s celebrated in Germany, and certain countries might emphasize holidays like Mother’s Day or other gift-giving events differently.
Despite these differences, one constant across many EU countries is the popularity of American culture. This means that American-inspired designs tend to perform well across European markets, providing POD sellers with a wide array of design possibilities.
Dreamship’s EU Edge-to-Edge Mug Line
To help you make the most of the growing potential in the EU market, Dreamship proudly introduces the Edge-to-Edge Mug line, which includes Accent Mugs (two-tone mugs), and White Mugs. These mugs feature printing all the way to the edge, right up to the handle, allowing for a larger, more detailed, and visually striking print area. The products are produced and shipped directly from Europe, offering the following standout benefits:

1. Edge-to-Edge Printing: One of the key highlights of the Edge-to-Edge Mug is its ability to print up to the handle, ensuring that the design covers the entire surface of the mug.
