<span id="midArticle_2"/>BERLIN, Jan 20 (Reuters) - The value of online exports in six of the top e-commerce markets will grow fivefold to $130 billion by 2020, with Britain currently generating the biggest online trade surplus by selling more goods abroad, research showed on Monday.
<span id="midArticle_3"/>The study by London-based management consultancy OC&C and U.S. search engine Google estimated the value of cross-border online trade in the United States, Britain, Germany, the Nordics, the Netherlands and France at $25 billion for 2013.
<span id="midArticle_4"/>E-commerce is expanding at breakneck pace, with online retail sales in Europe seen doubling by 2018 to 323 billion euros ($437.91 billion), market research firm Mintel forecasts.
<span id="midArticle_5"/>"Over the next decade, online retail will become even more international. This represents a great opportunity for retailers by providing a new, capital-light approach to grow rapidly," OC&C partner Anita Balchandani said in a statement.
<span id="midArticle_6"/>Britain, the most advanced e-commerce market in the world, generated the biggest online trade surplus in 2013 of more than $1 billion, OC&C estimated, followed by the United States with a surplus of $180 million and Germany on $35 million.
<span id="midArticle_7"/>While OC&C said U.S. online pioneers eBay and Amazon were the top international players in pure e-commerce, German online fashion retailer Zalando and British rival ASOS were next in their ranking.
<span id="midArticle_8"/>ASOS said on Jan. 14 that retail sales rose 38 percent to 335.7 million pounds in the four months to Dec. 31, helped by a jump of 69 percent in Europe even as growth in the United States and Australia slowed.
<span id="midArticle_9"/>Swedish furniture retailer IKEA topped the OC&C ranking of traditional players using e-commerce to speed their international expansion, followed by fashion retailer H&M and U.S. cosmetics seller Avon Products Inc.
<span id="midArticle_10"/>German sportswear maker Adidas led the OC&C ranking of brands which have used e-commerce to build their international standing, followed by France's Louis Vuitton and Hermes, and Britain's Burberry.
