When was the last time you actively went shopping? More to the point, when was the last time you bought something without checking it out online first?
Exactly.
Welcome to the retail apocalypse.
Or, in less dramatic terms, the demise of brick-and-mortar shops as the world shifts to buying online.
Where opportunities lie, entrepreneurs will pounce. That’s why at least part of ecommerce’s success can be attributed to people quickly learning how to start an online boutique, grocery delivery service, and so on.
Let’s take a look at some figures.
- By 2040, around 95% of all purchases are expected to be via ecommerce.
- In 2018, retail ecommerce sales grew 23.3% over the previous year.
- The total value of global retail ecommerce sales will reach $4.13 trillion in 2020.
