2. Germans have a higher average annual expenditure than other Europeans (€1,589 for Germany vs. a European average of €1,300)

   €5000 (vs. a French average of €1550)
4. The penetration rate of the second-hand market in France has tripled in 5 years: from 14 to 41% between 2017 and 2022
5. In France, 15% of purchases in the high-tech and fashion categories are second-hand purchases

8. On average, the weight of purchases in value during the Black Friday period is twice as important as during the rest of the year. Brands therefore make twice as much turnover during this period
9. The market share of online sales during the Christmas period is driven by high-tech and fashion: the Spanish spent 49% of their budget on these categories, a record in Europe
10. Still over the Christmas period, the food and beverage category is the only one for which there is a wide disparity in market share. The weight of the category does not exceed 4% of online purchases for Germany, Spain and Italy – against 11% for the UK and 14% for France
