We’re proud to announce a new strategic alliance with the eCommerce Association of Bosnia & Herzegovina—an important step in expanding opportunities for our members across new markets

This partnership represents an important step for our network, as it not only expands awareness of WCA eCommerce Solutions in a new and growing market, but also gives our members the opportunity to introduce their services and expertise to local companies in the region.
The country’s eCommerce sector is experiencing steady growth. In 2024, online sales generated approximately €627 million, with around 39% of the population shopping online, and more than 83% of transactions taking place via mobile devices (Ecommerce News Europe). Looking ahead, projections suggest the market will continue to expand, reaching nearly US$841 million by 2028 with a 6.8% CAGR.
The association actively collaborates with institutions, businesses, and regional stakeholders to advance digital transformation, improve logistics solutions, and strengthen competitiveness in the Balkan eCommerce sector (Ecommerce Europe).

Through this collaboration, our members will benefit from:
- Visibility in an emerging market, connecting with both startups and established companies.
- Access to market intelligence, including local trends in payments, consumer behavior, and logistics.
- Opportunities for collaboration in events, workshops, and projects that can create added value for our global network.

This new partnership strengthens our commitment to supporting members not only by opening doors in new regions, but also by creating connections that lead to growth and innovation.
