6. More than 50% of eTailers involved with online cross border trade
complain about insufficient Logistics capabilities for competitive Door-
to-Door solutions.
Only 8% of online retail merchandise purchases currently achieve
On Demand or same day delivery predominantly in the U.S and UK/EU
markets.
The GAP is widening for efficient delivery on demand services as a pre-
requisite by the consumer before an online purchase decision is made.

expensive cross border Logistics offerings by the marketplace
platforms involved with international Customer transactions.
