The retail market is expected to grow to $37,665.83 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.4%.. Many retailers are adopting a robust and cohesive strategy for data analytics in management.

The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the retail market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally.

The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province, of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in the manufacture and trade of non-essential goods and an overall decline in economic activity, with countries entering a state of "lock down" and the outbreak having a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the retail market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.

This e-commerce market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future state of the industry. The global e-commerce market size will grow from $2,837.76 billion in 2022 to $3,183.16 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term.

The global e-commerce market size is expected to grow to $4,902.06 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 11.4%. Rising internet penetration and the growing use of smartphones are predicted to contribute to the growth of the e-commerce market.

Moreover, the number of mobile users was 5.19 billion in 2020, which increased by 124 million, or 2.4%, in 2019. Therefore, increasing internet penetration coupled with the growing number of people using smartphones is projected to boost the demand for the e-commerce market over the forecast period. Stringent regulations and vertical restraints imposed on the e-commerce sector are expected to limit the growth of the e-commerce industry in the near future. Vertical restraints such as platform parity agreements (APPA), geo-blocking, most favoured nation (MFN), geo-filtering, and advertising restrictions will pose a significant challenge to e-commerce players. For instance, in June 2020, the government of India issued draft rules to amend the consumer protection (E-Commerce) rules 2020. Therefore, the stringent regulation imposed on functioning and advertising makes it difficult for e-commerce players to manage their operations, thus adversely impacting the growth of the e-commerce industry over the forthcoming years. Increasing government and companies’ initiatives to promote e-commerce sales is a leading trend in the e-commerce market.
