Webinar: International eCommerce 2027: Where Will the Next Wave of Growth Come From?

Navigating the markets, channels and cross-border complexities shaping international growth in 2027 and beyond.

Where will your next £1m of international revenue come from?

For UK retailers looking for growth, international expansion is an obvious opportunity. Choosing where to invest (and making the numbers work) is much less obvious.

Europe? The US? Emerging eCommerce markets? Marketplaces or direct?

Then there’s the operational reality.

Every new market can bring different customer expectations, carrier requirements, customs rules, returns challenges and costs. What looks like an attractive growth opportunity can quickly become difficult to scale or difficult to make profitable.

And with further cross-border changes coming in 2027 and 2028, decisions being made now could have a very different commercial impact over the next two years.

We tackle:

  • Where is the growth?
    The international markets and channels/marketplaces offering opportunities for UK retailers and where we see eCommerce shifting.
  • Which opportunities are actually worth pursuing?
    Market potential is only one part of the equation. We’ll look at the factors that can determine whether international expansion delivers incremental revenue or incremental cost for UK retailers.
  • What will change in 2027 and 2028?
    The cross-border and regulatory developments that could affect how UK retailers sell into international markets, and the decisions worth making before they land.
  • Can you expand without adding another carrier every time?
    Why international growth often creates a patchwork of carrier relationships, services and integrations – and how retailers can access the right services for different markets without continually adding operational overhead. We’ll look at why flexibility matters when you’re operating across multiple markets, and how to avoid being locked into a delivery set-up that can’t adapt.

Who should watch?

Built for eCommerce Directors, Heads of eCommerce, Logistics and Supply Chain leaders, Operations Directors and senior retail decision-makers with international growth on their agenda. Particularly if you’re asking:

  • Where should we expand next?
  • Can we do it profitably?
  • And is our current operation actually set up to support it?

If those questions are already coming up in your 2027 planning, this is worth a watch.
