The consumer electronics e-commerce market is experiencing significant growth due to the shift from offline to online shopping. With more than 4 billion people, or nearly 53% of the global population, connected to the internet and the vast majority (92.6%) using mobile devices to access the web, consumers now enjoy the convenience of hassle-free online shopping. Internet accessibility, mobile technology, and digital innovations have transformed the shopping experience, resulting in a surge in online shoppers who trust e-commerce platforms for purchasing high-value products, including electronics. This trend indicates that the consumer electronics e-commerce market is poised for continuous growth with the increasing integration of online shopping in consumers' lives.
The rising demand for smartphones is expected to be a significant driver of the consumer electronics e-commerce market. Smartphones, with their advanced features, have become a ubiquitous and essential device for people. They make online shopping more accessible and convenient, attracting a broader audience to e-commerce platforms. In 2022, there were 71.8 million active mobile connections, signifying a 3.8% increase from the previous year, as reported by Uswitch Limited. It is projected that by 2025, 95% of the 68.3 million people in the UK will own smartphones. This surge in smartphone adoption is a key factor fueling the growth of the consumer electronics e-commerce market.
The challenges to overcome, including the lack of an integrated end-to-end logistics platform for delivering electronics purchased online. In many developing countries, logistical barriers are significant, with a vast population residing in numerous cities and villages where e-commerce services are limited. Moreover, the logistics performance varies widely across different regions, including infrastructure, delivery options, modes, and warehousing. These disparities pose challenges for businesses seeking to expand their operations across borders. Retailers also face ongoing logistical challenges such as catering to same-day and next-day deliveries while managing change requests for delivery time slots. These factors are currently impeding the growth of the consumer electronics e-commerce market.
The integration of augmented reality (AR) technology has the potential to enhance the online shopping experience by reducing uncertainty about products. AR solutions enable customers to visualize products in their real environment, making it easier for them to decide on purchases. The 3D visualizations offered by AR allow customers to see how products will fit into their space, reducing the likelihood of returns and exchanges. This technology helps online retailers minimize returns by providing customers with a 'try-before-you-buy' digital experience. Augment, for example, is an AR tool that enables customers to view products in real-time, rotate them, and visualize them in their surroundings. This innovation offers a more personalized and engaging online shopping experience, reducing the cost and inconvenience of returns.
