Full Coverage
International growth is easy to put on a strategy deck. Making it generate revenue is harder. Where do the strongest opportunities lie for UK retailers in 2027? Which markets and channels deserve investment? And how do you expand without margin being swallowed by delivery costs, customs, returns and operational complexity?
Join ChannelX and GFS to examine where the next wave of international eCommerce growth is coming from. Could anything get in the way of capturing it? We’ll look at the markets and channels worth watching, from established eCommerce destinations to emerging opportunities, and the shifts that could change where retailers choose to invest next.
Finding the opportunity is only half the job, though. Every new market brings decisions around carriers, delivery services, customs, returns, cost and customer expectations. Add markets one by one and you can quickly end up with a delivery operation that’s expensive, fragmented and difficult to change.
We’ll tackle the questions that matter: Where should you grow? What are the bottlenecks? Can you scale without adding complexity every time you cross another border? We’ll also look ahead to the cross-border and regulatory changes coming in 2027 and 2028, and what they could mean for retailers selling internationally.
For senior eCommerce, Logistics, Supply Chain and Operations leaders planning their next phase of international growth. Know where the opportunity is. Know what could stand in your way. Then decide where to place your next pin on the map.
