If you want to stay ahead of the curve, you have to keep up with the changes – this is what E-commerce demands!
Nothing comes handy; generating revenues is a huge responsibility but it opens up numerous opportunities too – E-commerce is doing that! As we peep into the history – it appears to be incredibly interesting. Surprisingly, as it may sound, around 40 years back, e-commerce came into existence in the form of the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). EDI replaced traditional mailing and faxing of documents with a digital transfer of data from one computer to another. Trading partners could transfer orders, invoices and other business transactions using a data format that met the ANSI ASC X12, the predominant set of standards in North America. Technoid FZE is Ecommerce Website Development Dubai with proven expertise in developing B2C & B2B websites using Shopify, WordPress, Magento & other full-stack technologies.
Ever since, e-commerce has been consistently growing with new innovations, technologies and business trends. This business methodology is here to stay – Stylish and Convenient– Anytime, Anywhere shopping capability– just exactly what today’s consumer demands.
UAE’s E-commerce market is predicted to grow as a main megatrend in the coming years, which is fairly motivating. According to Frost and Sullivan, UAE’s E-commerce market is expected to reach $10bn (Dh 36.7 billion) in value by 2018.
Few Advantages That Adds To UAE’s E-commerce Expansion:
- Second largest presence of global brands in the world opens avenues for regional franchisees for developing mobile and online commerce.
- Idealistic geostrategic location with state-of-the-art infrastructure and world-class logistics facilities makes it a perfect location for companies to base their retail as well as wholesale trade operations.
- 80% smartphone penetration, which is amongst the highest in the world, offers great opportunities to grow through mobility devices.
- SMEs have bigger opportunities as their UAE base is helping them attract Emirati and more broadly Arab consumers who are willing to buy products through internet.
- Competitive pricing and convenience are the key motivating factors for users shopping online.
- Cross boarder shopping option with free shipping, safer ways to pay and most of all, facility to shop for items not available locally.

Challenges For E-Commerce In UAE :

- Financial transactions are generally done through cash and cheques rather than credit cards.
- Payment option preferred on online shopping is Cash on Delivery (COD), which is offered by Souq.com – a renowned regional online retailer, which certainly restricts the buyer bracket.
- Cross boarder shopping barriers such as delivery/shipping cost, threat of theft/fraud, low quality or brand replication.
With all these challenges in hand, e-commerce is still standing tall and strong – For one reason – It’s incredible capacity to grow with time!
