Electronic commerce in the world
What
position does Spain occupy in the list of penetration of electronic commerce? The
18th place: 72% of Spanish Internet users have made an online purchase in the
last month. The countries with the maximum percentage of users who make
use of e-commerce are: Indonesia (86%), China (82%) and Germany (81%). The
global average is 75%, so that Spain is slightly below the
average.
If
there is something that really stands out, it is that the gap between
e-commerce and m-commerce (mobile commerce) is decreasing. The growth of
e-commerce through mobile devices is exponential, especially in Indonesia,
China and Thailand. Worldwide, the percentage of Internet
users who make their purchases on the Internet through their mobile phone or
tablet is 55%, an all-time high . As for Spain, it
is 40%, so there is still a long way to go in this field.
Evolution of electronic commerce in
Spain
Approximately
70% of Spaniards shop through the Internet regularly, and 92% of Internet users
have made at least one purchase in the last year. The users between 35 and 45 years are the most active e - commerce
in Spain.
The
increasing penetration of the electronic market in Spain is explained by a
number of reasons. First, the improvement of payment security. Second,
the very competitive prices found in online stores. And,
thirdly, to the accessibility to any product or
service.
To
all this we must add the logistics. Just a few years ago, it was normal
for a certain item to take between two and three weeks to reach your home. Meanwhile,
at present it is possible that it will arrive in
just between 12 and 24 hours.
The
main drivers when making an online purchase are, in this order: convenience, offer and price . Although
at the moment the Spanish still prefer to make their purchases on the computer,
the advance of m-commerce (mobile commerce) is unstoppable.
What are the best-selling categories?

you want to set up your own online store, you are sure to be interested in
