Business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce refers to a business model that involves selling products and services from businesses to customers directly over the internet. Some of the common types of B2C e-commerce businesses include direct sellers, online intermediaries and advertisement-, fee- and community-based. In comparison to the traditional business model, this method reaches more customers by eliminating geographical boundaries, gaining new customers with search engine visibility, offering a comparison-based shopping experience, and creating markets for niche products. Its utilization also provides abundant information regarding the product and service and enables deals, bargains, coupons, and group buying while reducing overhead costs.
Global B2C E-commerce Market Trends:
The global market is primarily driven by the penetration of high-speed internet connectivity. This is further supported by rapid digitization, the increasing adoption of smartphones and the inflating disposable income levels of the masses. Along with this, the rising preference for online shopping due to the enhanced convenience offered by online platforms and the shifting lifestyle preferences of individuals is creating a positive market outlook. Since B2C e-commerce offers seamless purchase and returns options and easy availability of a wide range of product variants, this is providing a boost to the market growth. In addition to this, several leading players are heavily investing in providing monetary benefits to customers in the form of referrals, discount coupons, giveaways and contests, and loyalty points, which are gaining widespread prominence among the masses. Furthermore, the lockdown restrictions implemented on account of the rapid outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have impacted the market favorably. Other factors, including rapid urbanization and continuous improvements across the supply chain distribution channels, are also positively influencing the market.
