Background of Introducing Swedish

Sweden boasts a high internet penetration rate of 94% and is the largest e-commerce market in Northern Europe[^1]. The market is expected to generate revenues of USD 15.67 billion by 2024 and reach USD 18.68 billion by 2028. In 2024, the market is projected to grow by 5.7%, contributing to the global e-commerce growth rate of 10.4%[^2]. Furthermore, 10% of Swedish consumers purchase goods from international websites such as in Germany, China, UK, Denmark, and USA, indicating a strong international trade presence[^3]. This level of international engagement highlights Sweden's significant role in the global e-commerce market.

Given these factors, we have decided to introduce Swedish. By offering services in their native language, WAFUU.COM aims to be a more familiar and trusted site in the rapidly growing Swedish market.
