Sunday, 22nd June 2014

The World Cup should provide a boost to the Brazilian e-commerce segment, with a 27 percent increase in 2014 in relation to last year's figures and R$39,5bi ($16,6bi) in business predicted for 2014.

"Investments in local infrastructure and 4G should increase the numbers of Brazilians buying online during the year of the football tournament."

"The World Cup should boost mainly sales of electronics and sporting goods, which are already strong in [Brazilian] e- commerce."

"Last year, the Brazilian e-commerce segment generated R$31,1bi ($13.1bi) in business, a 29 percent grown in relation to the prior year, with 53 million people purchasing items online. The most popular product categories were fashion and accessories, home appliances, health and beauty, electronics and personal computing items."

"Until very recently, e-commerce was not a regulated activity in Brazil. Last year, rules have come into force to address consumer issues related to the segment in what is the first set of guidelines for any business wanting to sell online in the country."

E-commerce and logistics set for growth in Sub Saharan Africa

Sunday, 22nd June 2014

Over the next 10 years, online retail will continue to gain popularity in both developed and emerging markets and as a result, logistics companies are set to play a key role in providing vital supply chain management solutions that are able to evolve with consumers’ changing shopping habits.

"The study explores future scenarios with alternative views of what e-commerce globally could look like for consumers and businesses in the near future, depending of various economic factors. The different future projections are based on a detailed analysis of the most influential factors effecting economies – from energy and raw material prices to technological, political and social factors, to retail and consumption patterns. E-tailing – the sale of goods and services through the Internet – has exploded globally, especially in emerging countries and despite the various possible future scenarios , it is clear e-tailing will continue to boom."

“Currently, e-commerce already makes up 8% of the overall trading volume in Europe. Depending on the scenario, this share could rise up to 40% in developed countries and up to 30% in today’s emerging markets."

“While e-tailing can facilitate the transaction of the changing consumer trends, the delivery of the product needs to be considered. Many retailers put significant focus to attract customers, but more effort needs to be paid to facilitating flawless delivery to customers. Even more so when deliveries begin being measured in minutes, as opposed to hours and days. This will require logistics to adapt, as well as deliver competitive advantages, such as offering same day delivery and flexible returns.”

“In the future, logistics will take over the role as an enabler for online retailers even more so than today. As a logistics company, we have a good overview on companies in various industries in almost all countries of the world. In Africa, we are continually noticing the rise of e-tailing on the continent and we are increasingly becoming an advisor to these businesses and partner for success, as opposed to a just a traditional service provider."
