The international opportunity
It has been no secret that digital commerce is global and continuing to grow rapidly every year. With the impact that COVID-19 has had on commerce as a whole, the share of total global commerce sales happening online is expected to double by 2021.
In a Global Market Outlook report, projections estimate that global e-commerce will grow at a CAGR of almost 20% to reach $18.89 trillion by 2027. There are a number of factors impacting this growth outside of COVID-19. The global nature of search and increasing use of search engines facilitates the discovery of new brands and online retailers. Mobile penetration has also had an impact on helping to drive cross-border purchases.
In India, for example, e-commerce finds tremendous potential: Customers spent $38.5 billion in 2017, with $64 billion projected for 2020 and $200 billion forecast for 2026. Less than 65 percent of the population is online, meaning this market is far from peaking: Internet penetration is slated to double by 2021. As a result, the India Brand Equity Foundation projects India’s e-commerce industry will surpass that of the United States by 2034, becoming the second-largest in the world after China. In 2017, Chinese shoppers spent more than $1 trillion online.
Online business owners are now facing their greatest chance in history to expand internationally, especially as the growth of these individual markets directly correlates with profitable opportunities in cross border e-commerce itself. Krepling will continue to support it's business owners in capitalizing on said opportunities whilst also continuing to expand its offerings globally.
