Global-e Reports Remarkable 43% Yearly Growth in E-commerce Sales During Black Friday-Cyber Monday Weekend

Global-e Experiences Record Sales During Black Friday-Cyber Monday Weekend

Global-e, a leading platform for direct-to-consumer e-commerce, has recently announced a remarkable 43% increase in sales during the Black Friday-Cyber Monday (BFCM) weekend, compared to the previous year. This substantial uplift showcases the growing trend of global online shopping, as numerous markets including Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, and Australia all experienced significant year-on-year sales growth.

The surge in global e-commerce activity began early in November, with sales momentum starting to build as soon as the second week of the month. This early uptick mirrors the sales patterns observed during the same time in the previous year. Promotions were widespread throughout November and played a crucial role in building consumer interest, culminating in an exceptionally high transaction volume during the BFCM weekend itself.

In fact, e-commerce sales through the Global-e platform during the promotional season, starting two weeks before and including the BFCM weekend, increased by 45% compared to the same period last year. This indicates the growing importance of pre-BFCM promotions in driving consumer engagement and sales.

Interestingly, Black Friday accounted for a notable 33% of total BFCM weekend sales, outperforming Cyber Monday, which represented 23% of total sales. This trend reinforces the notion that Black Friday remains the peak shopping day during this promotional period, highlighting the strategic importance of engaging consumers early in the shopping season.

Nir Debbi, President of Global-e, commented, "By actively engaging global online consumers year-round in a way that is localized, brands are not only fostering consumer trust but also driving sales as the holiday shopping season approaches. Additionally, merchants who extend their domestic promotions to include global shoppers are witnessing a considerably higher increase in international sales. This highlights the fact that BFCM is evolving into an inclusive shopping season embraced by consumers worldwide."
