TRENDS IN ECOMMERCE
21
Selected trends
Several trends are accelerating the rapid growth of eCommerce markets worldwide
22
▪ Constantly new shops open and enter the marketplace in almost all countries.
▪ At the same time, the top 5 eCommerce players in different countries represent approx. one third of total eCommerce revenues.
▪ The market concentration of the top online stores has been growing steadily in the biggest eCommerce markets in recent years.
▪ Online marketplaces are on the rise and will grow faster than the average eCommerce market
▪ Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba are established players in the market in which more and more companies adopt marketplaces as platforms to promote and sell their products.
▪ But in addition to the giants, there are regional differences among marketplaces, niche players, and category experts.
▪ A significant share of internet services has moved to mobile-only platforms: mobile wallets make shopping on the go even easier and increase the amount and value of mobile orders.
▪ Merchants increasingly understand the importance of the mobile customer experience, introducing mobile-optimized search options and reducing the number of clicks to purchase.
▪ This process includes optimizing web shops for mobile devices as well as developing mobile device applications to increase customer loyalty.
▪ An increasing number of customers own smart agents such as Siri and Alexa.
▪ Processing voice orders by such smart agents might be the next level of eCommerce.
▪ Assuming that smart agents learn from order histories and are even able to manage a limited budget some day, this development could result in a whole new way for merchants to interact with customers.

▪ The COVID-19 virus will give eCommerce an additional push. Instead of growing 15% in 2020, it will grow by 25% in 2020.
▪ All eCommerce categories profit from this shift – especially Food & Personal Care, they will grow by 40% in 2020.
▪ In the long run, the eCommerce market will grow from 2019 to 2024 by 11% p.a. resulting in a size of almost US$3,300 billion in 2024.
▪ More than 50% of these revenues will be realized on online marketplaces, such as taobao.com.
▪ The eCommerce market has in general low barriers to entry. Hence every year new shops enter the local markets.
▪ Nevertheless, we see a growing market concentration due to online marketplaces and the agility of the giant eCommerce players such as Alibaba or Amazon.
