Romania and Czechia are the only top-ten markets where it comes first, so start trade supply lists there.
Romania ranks above Switzerland and Czechia above Poland, so do not size these lists by country population.

What this means
What to do with it.
Shops in this category serve trade and business buyers, so invoicing, bulk orders and account management matter more than pay later or returns. Build the Romanian and Czech lists first, where the category leads, then work the second-place markets in order of size, starting with the United Kingdom and Germany.
Target Romanian and Czech trade retailers first, where this category leads, then move to the United Kingdom and Germany with a stockist pitch per product line.
Pitch quoting, invoicing and account features to these shops rather than consumer features, and sort by platform before you write.
Use this category for industrial and trade clients who need company-level matches, and pair it with the person to reach so outreach lands with a buyer, not an info address.
Common questions
- How many online shops in Europe sell business & industrial?
- About 310,000 online shops across 30 European countries have business & industrial as their main category.
- Which country has the most business & industrial shops?
- United Kingdom, with ~47,000 shops, followed by Germany (~37,000).
- Can I get a list of business & industrial shops in a country?
- Yes. Choose the country and the cut you want, for example shops that advertise now, run a given platform or sit above a turnover line, and we return the matched companies with the people to reach.
Keep in mind
- Business and industrial is a wide label; a shop selling safety boots and one selling lathes sit side by side, so narrow by product range or store size.
- Being first in Romania says where the category is strongest, not where the biggest shops are.
