Product feed management for marketplaces: A practical guide
Top Marketplaces in Italy (2026): Sell on Amazon, eBay, Zalando & more
Italy’s ecommerce landscape in 2026 is very dynamic. Online product purchases are expected to exceed €40 billion this year, growing 6% year-on-year according to the latest Netcomm–Politecnico di Milano eCommerce B2C Observatory. Italian consumers have embraced online shopping for convenience, price transparency and fast delivery, driving brands and retailers to diversify their presence across multiple marketplaces in Italy.
Table of content
Rather than relying on a single platform, successful sellers are taking a multichannel approach — listing on large, high-traffic players like Amazon and eBay, while also partnering with vertical specialists such as Zalando (fashion), MediaWorld (electronics), or ManoMano (DIY & garden). This combination allows them to reach new audiences, test categories, and build resilience across sales channels.
In this guide, we've rounded up the top marketplaces in Italy for 2026 (from broad generalists to niche leaders) complete with verified data, trusted sources, and direct links to Lengow marketplace integrations. Whether you're a global brand expanding into Southern Europe or an Italian retailer looking to grow abroad, this overview will help you identify where to sell, how each platform works, and how to scale efficiently with Lengow's automation and feed management tools.
