10 Billion Downloads in 2020

Icecat product datasheet downloads increased to 9.7 billion in 2020. An increase of 75% compared to the previous year. One of the reasons is the growth in the number of registrations by 53%. Especially since the first lockdown, we see a rise in the number of spontaneous registrations as retailers are looking for free product content to publish in their e-commerce environment, and brands are registering for the Free Vendor Central to boost e-commerce. Further, the number of actively downloading user platforms increased by 18%. And, finally, the number of product views by visitors on the Icecat portal increased by a staggering 466%. Not just brand users and channel partners, but also more consumers and professional buyers are browsing the Icecat pages. To understand products, view videos, and manuals, and look for compatible spare parts. This also leads to an improved ranking of the icecat portal on Similarweb (38% improved ranking) and Alexa (29% improved ranking).
