Development Status and Trends of Indian E-commerce Industry

The Development Status and Trends of Indian e-commerce Industry

India sits on a demographic dividend and has huge potential to become the world's second largest Internet market after China. But unlike China's development layout, India's population is mainly concentrated in second, third, and fourth-tier cities. Indian e-commerce consists of everything from, medicare, healthtech to consumer services and goods. Only 8% of India’s over 1.2 billion people live in first-tier cities. This means that foreign e-commerce companies must not ignore the Indian e-commerce sites business in more than four thousand small towns except first-tier cities. This is the key to the development of the Indian e-commerce industry.

 

At present, Indian e-commerce companies Flipkart, Amazon and PaytmMall are the most commonly used e-commerce platforms for Indian residents. 

According to statistics, in 2017, Flipkart accounted for 38.5% of the Indian e-commerce market, Amazon accounted for 29%, and PaytmMall accounted for 20%. 

However, there are still some obstacles to the development of domestic e-commerce and international e-commerce in India. 

In India’s urban and rural areas, because of the long-term failure to achieve sound development, the network infrastructure construction, financial service construction, and road infrastructure construction in the urban and rural areas of India are relatively backward. 

This means that the network support, online payment and there are obstacles in logistics. 

But whether it is an opportunity or a challenge for Chinese e-commerce companies to develop in India is mainly whether they can break through these obstacles and take the lead in the e-commerce market in India's second, third, and fourth-tier cities and achieve results.

Which Indian E-commerce Platforms in the TOP 10 are worth doing?

According to data from Similar Web 2019, the Indian e-commerce market is almost dominated by the three comprehensive e-commerce platforms Amazon India, Flipkart and Snapdeal. 

The above three companies accounted for 53.32% of Indian e-commerce traffic and are the preferred platforms for Indian B2C/C2C e-commerce companies to settle in. 

Unexpectedly, India's e-commerce ranked fourth and fifth are actually AliBaba and two B2B e-commerce platforms called IndiaMart.

 

The reason is that in order to protect local businesses, India has loosely controlled the B2B model and provided relevant policy incentives (such as allowing 100% foreign investment under the B2B model, preferential investment for plant establishments, etc.), while setting strict restrictions on B2C transactions and foreign investment. Therefore, the B2B model is one of the options for brands to penetrate the Indian market.

The three laws of energy, momentum, and mass conservation as well as the constitutive equations characterising physical attributes form the foundation of biomechanics. Research in biomechanics focuses on mechanical issues that are connected to physiology and medicine.
