eCommerce Trends 2025: how to adapt your logistics to the new digital consumer
The first half of 2025 has made it clear that online consumer behaviour is in the midst of a transformation. Expectations are no longer focused solely on speed of delivery: users now value flexibility, convenience and control over the entire shopping process.
This change demands a new logistics approach from eCommerce, capable of responding to a less predictable and more demanding demand. In this article we look at the key eCommerce 2025 consumer trends and how they directly impact logistics, especially home delivery.
Because in e-commerce, adapting quickly is no longer a competitive advantage: it is an operational necessity.
How are online shopping habits changing?
More dispersed schedules, less predictable planning
Consumers no longer concentrate their purchases on weekends, promotional campaigns or classic calendar moments. Purchasing decisions are now more evenly distributed, with unexpected peaks at any time of the week.
The rise of multi-option shopping
Compare, choose channel, decide on delivery method. The consumer demands greater freedom to personalise your purchasing process. You are not limited to a single shop or platform, and expect the same level of service, regardless of the channel.
Zero tolerance to after-sales friction
Patience with slow returns, opaque traceability or complicated complaints has run out. Every friction reduces confidence on the brand and can hold back future purchases. Automating and simplifying processes is becoming essential.
Logistics as a decision factor
Delivery is no longer perceived as a post-sale stage, but as an integral part of the customer experience. What happens after the "buy now" also builds brand.
What do users value in delivery today?
Demands have risen. Now, the online consumer expects more:
- To be able to choose how and when to receive your order.
- Manage incidents easily, without having to contact multiple times.
- Change delivery mode on the fly, e.g. from home delivery to pick-up on the spot (PUDO).
- Clear follow-up and proactive communication.
- A sustainable approach: the environmental impact of delivery is starting to be a factor in the purchasing decision.
What do eCommerce companies need to offer to remain competitive?
Multi-channel and adaptable logistics network
Combination of home delivery, pick-up points and lockers to suit the customer's routine, without imposing a single route.
Absorption capacity and operational customisation
The system must respond with agility to demand peaksto be adapted to specific geographical areas and to offer scalable service levels.
Friction-reducing solutions
Friction does not only occur during delivery. Complex returns, lack of traceability or silence after a complaint damage customer perception. Automate these critical points improves the experience and reduces operating costs.
Delivery as a reflection of the brand
Logistics must reflect the brand values: sustainability, agility, proximity, control. Because the way it is delivered also communicates.
