According to Ecommerce News, Digitec Galaxus has generated over €1 billion in sales through its online shops. This is an increase of 16% compared to the year before.

This way, Digitec remains electronics market leader. The company explains that although the electronics market is declining, the store managed to further increase its sales.

Beside Digitec launched its mobile subscription service and founded a marketing agency, the company also opened its 11th store.
