Analysis
Temu, Shein, and AliExpress doubled their combined session share in the German online shopping market within a single year — a structural shift that cannot be attributed to seasonal spikes alone.
Amazon's share squeezed from both sides
Amazon.de remained Germany's dominant platform by volume, but its session share shrank as the three Asian competitors expanded simultaneously. Temu led the growth, consistent with its reported 62% year-over-year spending growth in Germany through mid-2025. The German Retail Federation (HDE) estimated Temu and Shein together delivered around 460,000 parcels to Germany every day in 2025 — a logistical footprint that directly mirrors the browsing intensity seen here. The upcoming EU €3 flat fee on sub-€150 parcels, effective July 2026, will be the first major cost headwind these platforms have faced in Germany. See how the shift plays out across quarters in the quarterly comparison snapshot.
