Similarities and differences between the markets of Spain, France, Italy and the United Kingdom
First of all, we should mention that the French DIY, renovation and gardening company Hand hand has achieved a great trajectory with its app, positioning itself in the number 2 position of the apps with the highest growth in downloads for France and Spain. In the Italian market, the platform ranks 4th, while it is out of the top 10 in the English market.
On the other hand, the application Shein reveals a very different growth behavior depending on the country. While in Spain it ranks number 1 among the apps with the highest growth in downloads, in the United Kingdom it ranks last. For its part, in the Italian market it ranks number 3 and does not appear in the French market.
On the other hand, inflation and the economic recession have influenced the UK listing, where the top 5 spots are held by coupon redemption, rummage reselling and deal finder apps, with apps like Asda Rewards, Vinted, HaffPrice, Three+ and Twig.
As for the eCommerce heavyweights, Amazon and Alibaba, the increase in downloads of their apps in these European countries has been quite uneven. As we have already seen, in Spain the application of Amazon holds fifth place, while in the other three countries it does not even appear in the top 10. For its part, Alibaba has shown greater growth in terms of downloads, being present in the rankings of Spain (9), France (9) and Italy (7), but not in the United Kingdom.
