Doing Business in Antwerp

Our work for Antwerp clients usually starts with one channel, often a website, SEO or messaging, and grows into an integrated plan as results come in.

Antwerp has Europe's second-largest port and one of the world's largest chemical clusters, and is a global centre of the diamond trade.

Antwerp businesses work mainly in Dutch, with English for international trade.

Key business areas include the historic centre, Het Eilandje, Zuid, Berchem and the port area. Our work for Antwerp clients is shaped by these local conditions, the languages your customers use (Dutch, with English and French) and the regulations of Belgium.

Antwerp Market Notes

Who your customers are

Antwerp's customers include port and logistics companies, chemicals firms, diamond traders, fashion retailers and technology businesses. Antwerp is the world's diamond centre.

How they choose and contact a business

Antwerp customers expect Dutch content and value direct, efficient communication.

When demand peaks

Port and trade schedules shape B2B demand, and the holiday season and fashion events are key moments. Across all channels we plan campaigns before these dates rather than reacting once demand has already peaked.

Where customers search and shop

Searches name the city centre, Het Zuid, Eilandje, Berchem and the diamond district. We use these area names across your website, local SEO, ad targeting and message segments.

Digital Habits and Channels in Belgium

Belgium has high smartphone adoption, and WhatsApp and Messenger are the main messaging apps, while SMS is used for appointment reminders, deliveries and bank codes. Campaigns usually need separate Dutch and French versions, and sometimes German, depending on the region.

Bancontact is the dominant payment method online and in shops, and the Payconiq by Bancontact app is popular for mobile payments. Belgian consumers are price-aware and respond to promotions during the regulated sales periods in January and July, Black Friday and Saint Nicholas Day on 6 December. Brussels' EU institutions and international associations make English common in B2B.

Belgium hosts the EU institutions and NATO in Brussels, and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges is the second largest in Europe. Chemicals, pharmaceuticals (Pfizer and GSK vaccine plants), logistics and diamonds are key sectors. Belgium is divided into Dutch-speaking Flanders, French-speaking Wallonia and bilingual Brussels, with a small German-speaking community, so campaigns must use the right language for each region. VAT is 21%, and the 'Do Not Call Me' list lets consumers block telemarketing.
