The global e-commerce market is projected to experience significant growth, forecasted to reach USD 73.52 trillion by 2030 from USD 25.4 trillion in 2024, marking a compound annual growth rate of 19.2%. This expansion is driven by increased internet accessibility, shifting consumer behaviors towards online platforms, and the adoption of omnichannel retailing which integrates online and offline shopping experiences. Despite the anticipated growth, challenges such as logistics and supply chain complexities remain, requiring efficient management of inventory and delivery systems. Companies across various industries are increasingly incorporating e-commerce into their business strategies, bolstered by advancements like AI-driven personalization and mobile technologies.
