FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - DubLi.com, a leader in global Cashback shopping, today announced that it has added 16 new stores to its Austrian Shopping Mall in the first six calendar months of 2015, bringing the total number of merchants to 95. The addition of these new stores, which include several leading international brands such as Ray Ban, GoDaddy, Alternate, Ali Express and Conleys, has put DubLi in an even better position to satisfy its growing customer base and make DubLi a one-stop online shopping destination.

The importance of DubLi's expanding merchant base is directly related to overall growth in the B2C market. According to a recent report commissioned by Ecommerce Europe, in 2014, Austria was third after Germany and Switzerland in Central Europe with EUR 11.6 billion in revenue. A little over seven million people used the Internet in Austria, which equals a penetration of 84%. This is the third-highest Internet penetration rate within Central Europe. In 2014, 4.9 million Austrians bought goods and/or services online. As a result, Austrian online shoppers were among the biggest spenders in Europe (EUR 2,361 per e-shopper). They ranked third within Europe in this regard, just behind the UK and Norway. Austria is especially attractive to German B2C e-commerce companies, due to the low-threshold language barrier. As a result, the German market attracts many e-shoppers from Austria. In any case, Austrian online shoppers frequently purchase cross-border. In 2014, more than 80% of them bought goods and/or services abroad at least once.

DubLi experienced growth in its merchant base throughout Europe with increases in Italy and Denmark of 32% and 14%, respectively and Switzerland and the UK grew by 13% and 11%, respectively. Germany is DubLi's largest European mall with over 900 merchants. Other DubLi markets including the US, Canada, Russia, India and Australia also experienced double digit growth in their merchant bases.

Michael Hansen, Founder of DubLi, stated, "These figures speak well to DubLi's position in Austria as a top Cashback provider. We expect to capture additional market share in Austria market in line with this continued growth."
