Commerce in Emerging 
Markets
What is the importance of e-commerce? 
Online commerce is becoming an 
increasingly powerful tool for economic 
development. While the world has seen a 
surge in digital shopping since the COVID-19 
pandemic, there are still significant 
opportunities to expand the digital economy. 
While e-commerce is still in its early stages 
in many parts of the world, it has already 
made a significant contribution to growth 
and job creation.

Urbanization Boosting E-
commerce
In our view, urbanization should 
coincide with a growing share of 
online consumer spending. This is 
due to the fact that greater 
urbanization and population 
density help ease the logistical 
challenges that online companies 
face when developing their 
services.

Given the growth of emerging 
markets, urbanization should rise 
and help to ease the logistical 
challenges that online companies 
face. Greater urbanization leads to 
less fragmentation and a greater 
share of online consumer 
spending.

Pure Play Companies Offering 
Products Offline 
The rise in popularity of e-commerce 
as a channel for FMCG purchases has 
led to new trends in offline purchases. 
With more consumers shopping online, 
companies have begun to offer 
improved delivery logistics, relocating 
their warehouses closer to major 
population centers, and introducing 
home delivery services to improve 
convenience for consumers.

Traditional Players Offering Products 
Online
Online shopping has become increasingly 
popular in recent years, despite traditional 
retailers' dominance in terms of market share. 
For example, Walmart has set up a collaboration 
with Google and Lidl has collaborated with DHL 
in Germany. 
The resulting growth in online consumer 
spending should lead to increased demand for e-
commerce services and continued business 
opportunities for companies focused on e-
commerce services.
