PTThe Portuguese online platform KuantoKusta aims to become a national showcase for small retailers by enabling them to reach consumers through its digital marketplace. Founded in 2025 as a price comparator, the platform now hosts 1200 stores and generated €40 million in sales for associated retailers last year, representing a 15% growth compared to 2024. The platform currently lists two million products across 16 categories, with 'Health and Beauty' being the top-performing category by both volume and value. Other notable trends include a 46% increase in 'Pet Supplies' and a shift toward higher-value purchases in the 'Imaging and Sound' category. The platform reports a decline in average order value due to inflation and geopolitical factors, though demand for technology products remains strong.
