Global E-Commerce Market - Growth, Trends, Covid-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)
Market Report I 2023-01-23 I 200 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The E-commerce market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15.2% during the forecast period, 2022-2027. The global smartphone user population is increasing as the internet's penetration increases. Digital content, financial services, travel and leisure, and e-tailing, to name a few, are among the e-commerce possibilities available to the internet-connected client base, which is growing in popularity as internet usage rises. As a result, customers' technical knowledge is projected to impact market growth positively.
Due to the lower cost of communication and infrastructure, established businesses and giant corporations are gravitating toward online business. E-commerce allows the organization to reach out to clients more efficiently, resulting in essential exposure to the firm. Online marketing tools such as Google advertisements and Facebook ads also drive e-commerce.
Small and medium-sized businesses are expanding significantly, especially in India, China, South Africa, and Russia. Initiatives like Make in India and Start-up India have increased the number of start-ups that use the internet marketplace to conduct business, boosting the market growth. The absence of deployment of technical infrastructure in rural parts of nations such as India, China, and Brazil is predicted to stifle market expansion.
As retail outlets close, customers' preference for internet shopping is increasing due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. The outbreak has significantly impacted critical economies like the United States, China, India, and Italy. As a result, Europe and North America are expected to impact the market significantly.
E-commerce Market Trends
Advancements in Technology
The growth of the e-commerce sector is expected to be supported by rising internet penetration and smartphone use. Consumer tastes change towards online buying as the internet and cellphones become more widely used. According to We Are Social's particular study on Digital 2020, released in January 2020, the overall number of internet users worldwide in 2020 climbed to 4.54 billion, up 298 million or 7% from January 2019.
Because of the growing use of smartphones and tablets worldwide, online retail continues to grow. People can shop on their phones thanks to technological advancements such as branded shopping apps, 5G wifi, and social shopping.
On several e-commerce platforms, brands are counting on virtual shopping and experimenting with augmented and virtual reality retail. Consumers have no limits in the metaverse, a 3D virtual reality. People from all across the world can engage with products in a metaverse, irrespective of their location.
Initiatives by Government
In the e-commerce market, increasing government and company initiatives to boost e-commerce sales is a prominent trend. The Union Ministry of India announced the government's intention to develop Bharat Craft, an e-commerce web in India modeled after Alibaba, a Chinese e-commerce platform. This app is designed to give a platform for MSMEs to market and sell their products, boosting the country's economic growth.
At the national level, government bodies improve their policies and plan to ensure long-term viability and consumer protection. High environmental and social standards will improve the countries' environmental and social norms, which will affect the viability of the e-commerce business in these countries. Adopting harsh sanctions, for example, will make it harder for companies to enter the e-commerce industry. Still, adopting lenient sanctions will make it easier for businesses to do so.
