E-commerce (electronic commerce) purchases and sells products and services over an electronic network, typically the internet. Business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), consumer-to-consumer, and consumer-to-business transactions are all possible. E-commerce is witnessing rapid growth in the Bahrain market. The factors like internet penetration, rise in the tech-savvy youth population, and other factors are driving Bahrain's e-commerce market.

The acquisition will help MySize accelerate its revenue growth and reduction costs for its business clients.
Due to the covid - 19 regulations and the shutdown of various industries, the Bahrain government took some measures for customer engagement by introducing online shopping and a virtual marketplace to support the growth and development of owner-operated micro-businesses engaged in online sales activities, such as trading, merchandising, and retail. For instance, In 2021, the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Tourism (MoICT) has permitted 100% foreign ownership of businesses that provide online retailing in Bahrain.
