In 2026, marketplaces have become one of the most powerful sales channels for companies. Brands that choose to enter platforms like eMAG, Altex, Allegro or Amazon see results much faster than in traditional e-commerce and can scale sales without large investments in infrastructure, programmers or dedicated teams.

If a few years ago marketplaces were just an option, today they are a mandatory component for any business that wants rapid growth and maximum exposure.

1. Why marketplaces grow faster than online stores

A marketplace already has:

• massive daily traffic

• customers ready to buy

• trust and reputation

• payment and delivery infrastructure

• national marketing campaigns

Instead of investing thousands of euros in SEO, advertising and functionalities for your own store, marketplaces instantly deliver:

• visibility

• access to millions of customers

• fast conversions

For many businesses, it is the shortest path from product to sale.

2. What concrete benefits do marketplaces bring to companies?

✔ Lower entry cost

You don't need programming, modules or design.
Everything is ready, you just list the products.

✔ Fast scaling

If you have stock and the right price, the marketplace can take you from 0 to 200+ orders in a few weeks.

✔ Greater customer trust

The customer has the platform's guarantee (e.g. eMAG or Altex), and the conversion is much higher than on an unknown store.

✔ Risk-free product testing

You can quickly see which products are selling well and which products are not worth stock and budget.

✔ No mandatory marketing costs

You can sell without Ads, because the marketplace brings you organic traffic.

3. Major differences between marketplaces

Each marketplace has different logic and algorithms:

• eMAG Marketplace - search, price and rating are the key elements; you can sell large volumes if you optimize correctly

• Altex Marketplace - very good growth in technical and household product categories

• Allegro (Poland) - the largest marketplace in Central Europe, with huge turnover but also strong competition

• Amazon - suitable for international brands or globally scalable products

• CEL Marketplace - good for small volumes and quick testing

A business that understands the rules of each marketplace can scale much more efficiently.

4. Why many companies fail on marketplaces

The most common reasons:

• unoptimized titles

• poor, copied descriptions

• uncompetitive price

• lack of internal SEO on the marketplace

• lack of professionalism in images

• neglecting ratings and reviews

• Ads campaigns set up incorrectly

Marketplaces don't work "by chance".
They have strict algorithms and rules that must be followed.
