Detailed explanation-1: -Although e-commerce accounts for less than 1% of the total retail market in India, it is by far the fastest growing retail channel. It is estimated to grow to as much as $22 billion (excluding travel) in five years from $3.1 billion currently, according to a report by CLSA.

Detailed explanation-2: -Direct-to-Consumer – the Fastest Growing Segment in Retail.

Detailed explanation-3: -Apple.com was the fastest growing e-commerce website in 2022. The global domain of the big tech company saw its average annual traffic grow by over 262 percent, outdoing even the fashion marketplace shein.com at about 75 percent.

Detailed explanation-4: -E-retail, also known as e-tail, internet retail or online retail, stands for electronic retail. In e-retail, a business or individual sells retail products and services through online stores. An e-retail company can be a purely digital presence, meaning there is no physical store for a customer to enter.

Detailed explanation-5: -Low Cost. Another important factor responsible for the growth of eCommerce is the low cost of running an eCommerce business. Unlike brick-and-mortar stores, it is relatively cheaper to establish an online store than a physical one. E-commerce eliminates the need to build physical stores in which products are cataloged.
