E-Katalog Launches PriceHub in UK as Independent Price Comparison Platform
LONDON, United Kingdom, June 10, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- E-Katalog, opens new tab, one of Eastern Europe's leading price comparison platforms, has launched its service in the United Kingdom under the new brand name PriceHub, opens new tab. The rebranding reflects the company's strategy to adapt its Ukrainian platform to the specific characteristics of the UK e-commerce market and positions the service as an independent alternative to existing comparison services.
PriceHub lets British consumers compare prices and technical specifications for millions of products from thousands of online retailers, including both large chains and specialized stores. Particular attention is paid to the independence and transparency of comparisons — unlike marketplaces and affiliate platforms, PriceHub does not distort results with sponsored listings.
'The United Kingdom represents a unique market where global giants and strong local players coexist,' said Anatolii Skrypniak, founder of E-Katalog. 'PriceHub was created specifically for British consumers who value independent comparisons and in-depth analysis of product specifications.'
International Expansion and Localization
The launch of PriceHub in the UK is part of the company's large-scale international expansion. In Ukraine, E-Katalog serves millions of users each month, offering a wide range of product categories — from home appliances to electronics. In 2021, the company successfully launched E-Katalog in Poland, opens new tab, and in 2023 it entered the U.S. market with the E-Catalog platform, opens new tab.
Each localization involves full adaptation to local conditions: support for local currencies and languages, integration with regional online stores, and consideration of consumer behavior. For example, American users actively search for smartphones, opens new tab with specific features, while the UK version emphasizes categories such as smartwatches, opens new tab and other high-tech products.
Focus on Conscious Consumption
PriceHub positions itself as a tool for conscious consumption. The platform provides detailed information not only on prices, but also on product durability, energy efficiency, environmental characteristics, and verified user reviews. This helps consumers make informed decisions and reduce the number of impulse purchases.
'We want to change the culture of online shopping,' Skrypniak explains. 'Instead of quick purchases based on advertising, we offer deep analysis and comparison. Our goal is to help people buy exactly what they need — at the best price and with a full understanding of the product's features.'
Technological Advantages and Independence
A key advantage of PriceHub is its technological independence from sellers. The company partners with thousands of retailers and presents all offers available on the market equally to the user, ensuring the objectivity of comparisons (for example, mobile phones, opens new tab).
The platform uses proprietary algorithms for automatic data collection and analysis, enabling real-time processing of information on millions of products. The system automatically tracks price changes, new product listings, and specification updates.
Special attention is paid to data quality: PriceHub uses machine learning technologies to verify the accuracy of product information and detect potentially misleading or unethical offers.
Development Plans
The company plans to actively develop its presence in the United Kingdom, focusing on expanding its network of partner stores and improving the user experience. In the near future, PriceHub will launch a mobile application for the UK market and integrate with popular local delivery services.
'The UK market is an important step in our European expansion,' Skrypniak notes. 'We see great potential for independent comparison services in Europe, where consumers value transparency and quality information.'
In the long term, E-Katalog plans to expand into markets such as France, Italy, and Germany, each time taking into account local market specifics and, where necessary, adapting its branding.

The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is now the Nurburgring's fastest electric production car
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is now the Nurburgring's fastest electric production car Yup, the Rimac Nevera has been bumped Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. 7 minutes 15 seconds Europe, take note: the 'Ring record holder for electric production cars is now the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, having lapped the Green Hell in 7m 04.95s. Woah. That's a three-tenth improvement on the previous record set by the Rimac Nevera, and also swats away the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT by 2.5s. Ooft. Advertisement - Page continues below Xiaomi foreshadowed this strong showing last year, when it sent a stripped-out, prototype SU7 Ultra around the track. It monstered it, clocking a best lap of 6m 46.87s. That car was nowhere close to production spec, obviously, but its time was still three seconds quicker than a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The SU7 Ultra's internals are… predictably strong. It's a trio of electric motors that combine to produce 1,527bhp, and enough torque to best Thanos in a tug of war. 0-62mph is covered in just 1.97s, and the hyper saloon won't call it quits until it sees 217mph. But that's not all: the Ultra also gets Pirelli P Zero tyres and stoppers from AP Racing. Combined with the 500kg weight deficit to the standard car (courtesy of lots of carbon), and a new aero kit that generates over 2.1 tonnes of downforce at peak speeds, the SU7 Ultra lives up to the second half of its name and then some. Oh, and Xiaomi says it pinched the record off the Nevera on its very first attempt. No wonder it saw fit to give the car a literal bold badge earlier this year...

Morning Bid: No relief from US-China trade truce
A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Johann M Cherian European investors are set to wake up to a souring mood as rapidly rising tensions in the Middle East and yet another tariff salvo from U.S. President Donald Trump triggered a new wave of dollar-selling and risk-off moves. The much-hyped U.S.-China talks culminated in a fragile truce that may have put a lid on simmering trade tensions between the world's top two economies for now but the lack of details has left investors unnerved. For starters, China President Xi Jinping is yet to give his approval on the 'deal'. And details on how the new tariffs will be implemented are yet to be ironed out and U.S. export restrictions on high-end artificial intelligence chips are still in place. And with the July 8 deadline on worldwide tariffs fast approaching, Trump is back to his unilateral style of policymaking as he said he would send out letters in one to two weeks outlining terms of trade to dozens of other countries, which they could embrace or reject. Markets will be hoping for another TACO moment. While backward looking inflation reports are yet to reflect the price pressures, companies are starting to sound the alarm. Zara-owner Inditex ( opens new tab was the latest to issue a disappointing quarterly report and flag headwinds from trade uncertainty. And as if investors did not have enough to juggle with already, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are flaring, adding to the risks of rising crude prices fuelling inflation pressures. Supply concerns out of the oil-rich region pushed Brent and West Texas Intermediate futures to two-month highs of nearly $70 a barrel each. In all of this, as my colleague Jamie McGeever points out, valuations in equities and stocks are beginning to appear stretched, compounding the risks to investors in the event of a market selloff. European futures were down 0.7%, while futures in the U.S. are pointing to a lower open on Thursday, but the benchmark indexes in the regions are just about 2% away from their respective record highs. Further, investors continue to question the dollar's safe-haven status. On Thursday, the euro hit a seven-week high and is up 11% this year, poised for its biggest yearly advance since 2017. The central bank bonanza next week could perhaps throw more light on the global economy's outlook. The U.S. Federal Reserve along with the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England are due to announce their policy decisions. Meanwhile, investors will look for a string of UK economic data including reports on gross domestic product and manufacturing output later in the day. Both are expected to reflect a decline in activity on a monthly basis, reigned in by the BoE's cautious approach to monetary policy easing. Key developments that could provide more direction to markets on Thursday: - In the UK: GDP, industrial output, manufacturing output and trade data - In the U.S.: Producer inflation data, initial weekly jobless claims report and an auction of 30-year bonds worth $22 billion - Policymakers expected to speak include ECB's Jose Luis Escriva, Reserve Bank of Australia's David Jacobs - UniCredit ( opens new tab CEO sees slim hopes of BPM ( opens new tab deal, says Commerzbank ( opens new tab too costly - Oracle (ORCL.N), opens new tab raises annual forecast on robust cloud services demand - Warner Bros' (WBD.O), opens new tab credit rating downgraded to junk by Fitch on split-up

Airbus revises up 20-year jet demand forecast despite trade tensions
PARIS, June 12 (Reuters) - Airbus ( opens new tab revised up its forecast for airplane demand over the next 20 years on Thursday, telling investors and suppliers the air transport industry was expected to ride out the current wave of trade tensions. The European planemaker said it expected the industry it and its U.S. rival Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab dominate to deliver 43,420 commercial jets between 2025 and 2044, an increase of 2% from its previous rolling 20-year forecast issued a year ago. That includes 42,450 passenger jets, up 2% from the previous forecast, and 970 factory-built freighters, up 3%. Airbus stuck to its previous projection that air traffic would grow on average by 3.6% a year, despite chopping half a percentage point off its forecast for annual growth in trade to 2.6% and shaving its projection for global GDP growth slightly to 2.5%. "There is certainly some turbulence thanks to the recent geopolitical and trade situation," Antonio Da Costa, vice president for market analysis and forecast, told reporters. "It is still very early days... nevertheless the early signals are giving us some level of hope." The aerospace industry has been roiled by U.S. tariffs introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump and the prospect of reprisals by the European Union, as well as wild swings in punitive duties exchanged between the U.S. and China. U.S. and Chinese officials agreed on Tuesday on ways to restore a trade truce and roll back duelling restrictions. Airbus officials said the latest forecasts assume that base tariffs of 10% imposed by the Trump administration on most imports would stay in place for a while, contrasting this with the deeper disruption threatened by larger punitive tariffs. Air transport, which is closely tied to the economy and rising numbers of middle classes with disposable incomes, has frequently proven itself resilient to shocks, Da Costa said. Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury has called for a return to tariff-free trading for aerospace, joining a chorus of U.S. industry leaders in warning of damage from a tariff war. Airbus raised its demand forecast for single-aisle planes like the A320neo family and competing 737 MAX, which account for four out of every five deliveries, by 2%. It expects 34,250 of them over 20 years, of which 56% would be additional capacity. Airbus revised up its forecasts for wide-body passenger jet deliveries by 3% to 8,200 planes. That part of the market for long-haul jets has seen growing demand led by Gulf carriers.
