The market’s largest segment is “Fashion” with a market volume of $55.5 million in 2020.  The introduction of internet-based delivery options grew dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic and many BiH citizens use these services frequently for food deliveries.  Internet penetration is estimated at 81 percent (source: Internet World Stats, 2021).  The financial sector leads the way with many commercial banks offering e-banking to their clients.
