The global eCommerce industry saw impressive growth in 2015 with goods and services worth $1.5 trillion bought by shoppers via desktops, tablets and smartphones. This growth trend is set to continue with B2C Business-to-consumer eCommerce market value to exceed $3.2 trillion by 2020, and B2B Business-to-business forecast to double this for $6.7 trillion.
As Mobile Commerce (or ‘M-Commerce’) continues its rapid growth, consumers choosing to shop from mobile and tablet devices accounts for up to 50-75 per cent of global eCommerce transactions.
A responsive website, cross-device marketing, social media strategy, SEO, and PPC advertising are real drivers for online retail and present a range of opportunities to internationalise and maximise your digital export strategy.
