Together, these purchases represented \u20ac7.7 billion in spending, up 26% from Q1 2020. This increase, also seen in Q4 2020, was partly caused by the partial lockdown at the start of the year, when non-essential shops were temporarily closed. \u201cIf we look at online spending on products, e-commerce now accounts for more than 22% of the total retail sector. That is the highest percentage ever recorded; it normally fluctuates around 10%,\u201d says Marlene ten Ham, Managing Director of Thuiswinkel.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-across-the-border\">Across the border<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study also shows that more consumers made online purchases across the border than last year, although their total spending was lower. \u201cDutch consumers are spending slightly less across the border. Last year, they spent \u20ac681 million; this year, \u20ac635 million. The Dutch market is therefore benefiting most from the online growth, because many foreign purchases are linked to tourism,\u201d Marlene ten Ham says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-many-new-webshops-this-year\">Many new webshops this year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shift to online sales that many physical shops began last year proved essential at the start of this year. \u201cAfter the lockdown, we had to rely on click and collect for quite some time. Many physical shops launched a webshop alongside their existing business to generate some revenue. This revenue is included in the Thuiswinkel Market Monitor,\u201d Marlene ten Ham explains. <a href=\"https:\/\/opendata.cbs.nl\/#\/CBS\/nl\/dataset\/81589NED\/table?ts=1588932795429\">Statistics Netherlands figures <span class=\"icon inline-block ml-1 w-[0.875em]\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" fill=\"#000000\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 256\"><path d=\"M228,104a12,12,0,0,1-24,0V69l-59.51,59.51a12,12,0,0,1-17-17L187,52H152a12,12,0,0,1,0-24h64a12,12,0,0,1,12,12Zm-44,24a12,12,0,0,0-12,12v64H52V84h64a12,12,0,0,0,0-24H48A20,20,0,0,0,28,80V208a20,20,0,0,0,20,20H176a20,20,0,0,0,20-20V140A12,12,0,0,0,184,128Z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/a> show that more than 4,600 webshops were added in Q1 this year, compared with more than 2,200 in the same period last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As in recent quarters, categories related to the home recorded particularly strong growth. Online spending increased by 118% in Home &amp; Living, 86% in Consumer Electronics and 83% in Toys. Food\/Nearfood recorded the strongest growth in absolute terms this quarter. Increases in the number of online buyers, total spending and average spend almost doubled the category&#8217;s online share to 9%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cross-border-purchases-more-often-paid-with-ideal-and-klarna\">Cross-border purchases more often paid with iDEAL and Klarna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"930\" height=\"778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Aandeel-betaalwijzen-Q1.png\" alt=\"Chart showing the share of payment methods used for online purchases in Q1 2021\" class=\"wp-image-1431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Aandeel-betaalwijzen-Q1.png 930w, https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Aandeel-betaalwijzen-Q1-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.betaalvereniging.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/09\/Aandeel-betaalwijzen-Q1-768x642.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iDEAL&#8217;s share as a payment method for online purchases within the Netherlands remained high this quarter: iDEAL was used for 69% of online purchases and 60% of online spending. The shares of credit cards and direct debit as payment methods declined. iDEAL was also the most widely used payment method for cross-border purchases, accounting for 50% of the number of purchases. A typically Dutch payment method such as iDEAL is often used at foreign webshops because more and more international providers with large numbers of Dutch customers\u2014including major webshops such as Amazon and AliExpress\u2014offer iDEAL as a payment option. The shares of iDEAL and Klarna in cross-border purchases and spending increased, while the share of credit cards declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/buttons\" class=\"mt-4 lg:mt-6\" >\n\t\t\n\t\t<ul class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-2 md:gap-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n<a\n\tdata-variant=\"outline\"\n\tdata-size=\"default\"\n\tclass=\"group inline-flex justify-center items-center gap-2 cursor-pointer text-sm md:text-md transition-[background,border-color,color] font-bold px-4 md:px-5 min-w-[52px] md:min-w-[60px] min-h-[52px] md:min-h-[60px] bg-transparent rounded-full border-2 border-base-500 text-base-500 underline-fade-in hocus:bg-base-500 hocus:border-base-500 hocus:text-white\"\n\n\t\n\t\t\thref=\"https&#x3A;&#x2F;&#x2F;www.betaalvereniging.nl&#x2F;en&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;sites&#x2F;4&#x2F;2025&#x2F;09&#x2F;Infographic-Thuiswinkel-Markt-Monitor-Q1-2021.pdf\"\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t>\n\t\n\t\t\t<span data-button-text>\n\t\t\tThuiswinkel Market Monitor infographic Q1 2021\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"transition-transform group-hover:translate-x-2 group-focus-visible:translate-x-2 flex items-center justify-center w-[1em] h-[1em] icon \" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M21.3105 10.9395L21.4141 11.0537C21.8942 11.6429 21.8596 12.5115 21.3105 13.0605L13.5 20.8711L11.3789 18.75L16.6289 13.5H2.25V10.5H16.6289L11.3789 5.25L13.5 3.12891L21.3105 10.9395Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Online consumer spending grew strongly in Q1 2021, with Dutch webshops benefiting more than international shops and iDEAL remaining the leading payment method.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1431,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"editor_notices":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,22,23,36],"btv_subject_tax":[17],"class_list":["post-1430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-press-release","category-publication","category-thuiswinkel-markt-monitor","btv_subject_tax-online-payments"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin  - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Thuiswinkel Markt Monitor Q1 2021: Trends in Online Winkelen - Dutch Payments Association<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Bijna 1 miljoen nieuwe online kopers in Q1 2021.
