Some 5,000-6,000 companies have Hungarian-language websites offering products for sale, said analyst Norbert Madar of consultancy eNet.

The number of webshops in the company register is 3,600, of which 1,200 are active. Activity in this sense means that they are listed in one of the price comparison sites.

eNet estimates the total market at Ft 160 billion and is forecasting 20% growth this year.
