Why Canada is a Goldmine for US e-Tailers
Canada ranks as the 9th largest e-commerce market, expected to hit $40.3 billion in 2025. Its close proximity to the US means faster, cheaper shipping to Canada. Canadians already trust US brands, especially those near the border, making it a prime market for expansion.
The Growing e-Commerce Landscape in Canada
83% of Canadian online shoppers buy cross-border, with nearly half of those purchases coming from international sites—mostly US-based. Mobile commerce is rising too, now making up over a third of online sales. Retailers need to offer mobile-optimized experiences to compete.
Key Statistics: Understanding Canadian Online Shoppers
Navigating Cross-Border Shipping Challenges
Customs, duties, and regional tax differences can complicate shipping. Canada’s mix of urban and rural areas adds logistical complexity. Retailers need reliable delivery partners with Canadian shipping expertise and tailored solutions to meet high consumer expectations. Working with a shipping partner that offers reliable shipping alternatives outside of Canada Post can also help e-tailers keep orders moving to Canada even during postal labor disruptions.
Consumer Behavior Trends You Can't Ignore
Millennials are driving growth, with strong buying power and digital habits. Sustainability matters—eco-friendly shipping and packaging boost brand loyalty. Social commerce is growing fast; TikTok users are 1.5x more likely to buy products discovered on the platform.
Maximizing Success in the Canadian Market
US retailers should focus on fast shipping, mobile-friendly shopping, easy returns, and sustainable practices. A clear logistics plan and understanding of Canadian consumer habits can set brands apart in this high-potential market.
