Home, Decor & Garden eCommerce Greece 2025: Trends, Benchmarks & Consumer Insights

As Greek online retailing consolidates, the Home, Decor & Garden category is emerging. Inspired by post-pandemic lifestyle shifts, mobile-first behaviors, and increasing requirements for trust and convenience, this category is breaking out of its niche into a must-have.

In our latest whitepaper, we dive into the market's evolution in detail—combining consumer research, channel benchmarks, performance metrics, and actionable strategy for eCommerce decision-makers in space.


From Pandemic Surge to Sustained Growth
Following the COVID-driven spike of 2020–21, the market stabilized and reaccelerated in 2024 with ~9% CAGR projected through 2025. Furniture alone is forecasted to surpass €775M in revenue, while segments like candles, textiles, and outdoor furnishings continue their steady climb.

Discovery Redefined: Mobile-First, Visual-Driven
Greek shoppers are decisively mobile-first—65%+ of sales are mobile-initiated—and increasingly reliant on visuals, real-life imagery, and reviews. Discovery happens on Skroutz, marketplaces, and Instagram, but conversions depend on clarity, service, and UX.

Trust = Conversion
55% of consumers say that they will abandon a store if return policy and shipping are not explained clearly—price does not matter. Reliability and communication at checkout, fulfillment, and post-purchase care are now top-line growth drivers, not back-office subtleties.

Marketplace Power & Brand Opportunity
Over €850M in Home & Garden GMV will pass through marketplaces in 2025, dominated by Skroutz. Yet D2C channels remain essential for brand narrative and margin management—especially when paired with Vendallion®-enabled UX and performance optimization.

Strategy for 2025 & Beyond
Winning retailers are focusing on:
  • Quick, mobile-first UI with visual merchandising and smart filtering
  • Full-service fulfillment: lockers, express delivery, transparent timelines
  • Seamless returns and flexible payments (Buy Now Pay Later included)
  • Personalized experiences powered by AI-fueled recommendations and smart cross-selling logic
  • ERP integration and marketing attribution that close the loop on real performance

Real Results, Real Brands
From Ravenna’s 47% lift in conversions to Vicko’s 38% growth in organic sessions and Jumbo’s scale-optimized UX upgrades, the whitepaper includes real client outcomes that demonstrate how structured execution leads to measurable wins in the category.
