The advantage of the European market lies in its cultural diversity and the array of festivals celebrated throughout the year. Unlike focusing solely on events like “Black Friday” or “Double Eleven,” European sellers have numerous opportunities to experiment and test the market in different countries at various times of the year.

It’s worth mentioning that due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, Europe is facing an energy crisis. In 2023, products related to energy storage and heating experienced a surge in demand during the winter. As the situation remains uncertain in 2024, sellers can prepare by stocking up on these products, particularly focusing on supplying high-latitude Western and Northern European regions.
