E-commerce has revolutionized the world of shopping over the years, radically changing our habits and becoming an essential part of daily life for millions of people. What only a few years ago was considered by many to be just an almost utopian idea, today is a tangible reality that has transformed trade irreversibly, knowing how to evolve by exploiting the constant advancement of technology.
The evolution of e-commerce
Born as an innovative concept in the 1970s, e-commerce experienced rapid expansion in the 1990s with the first websites and reached the peak of popularity in the second decade of the 2000s thanks to the global spread of new technologies. This has led to a dramatic shift in consumer behavior: online purchasing has far outpaced in-store shopping, further accelerated by the global pandemic.
With 79% of digital users in the European Union having shopped online in 2023 and 295.8 million people shopping predominantly online in the United States alone, e-commerce is completely revolutionizing the way we globally which we shop.
One of the key aspects that has contributed to the success of e-commerce has been its integration with mobile devices, allowing consumers to shop anywhere, anytime. The smartphone in particular has also expanded the shopping experience by allowing shoppers to not only shop but discover offers, compare prices and manage their shopping lists online. It has also made the possibility of establishing a direct relationship with digital portals just a click away, sharing information, interests or preferences and often interacting directly via chat and comments.
