In today’s fast-evolving digital commerce landscape, where connectivity and fulfilment have reached new heights, the e-commerce industry is booming. In this blog, we’ll summarise our key industry report insights, focusing on the future of e-commerce and its potential impact on your business.
Key Insights for 2023
The UK currently holds the esteemed position of being the third-largest e-commerce market globally, and it’s estimated that British households will collectively spend a staggering £120 billion on e-commerce purchases in 2023. This doesn’t come as a surprise, given the surge in online shopping in recent years. With platforms like Google Shopping Ads, Instagram Ads and the emerging TikTok Shop, consumers can now enjoy a seamless and convenient shopping experience whether they’re at home or on the move.
So, what does this mean for how you approach prospective customers?
2023 Commerce Trends to Consider
When creating a digital marketing strategy designed to improve your business’s online success, there are a couple of notable e-commerce developments for 2023 that you should bear in mind:
Enhanced Customer Experience
One notable trend is an increased focus on delivering an easy and enjoyable shopping experience. Research indicates that 64% of shoppers respond better to personalised experiences when shopping online. There are a range of ways you can enhance customer satisfaction, including appealing visuals, fast loading times, user-friendly navigation and informative long-form content. By embracing these strategies (and many more!), you stand a good chance of significantly boosting conversion rates.
Growth of m-Commerce and Social Media Sales
In 2022, mobiles accounted for a whopping 78% of all retail traffic in the UK and, as such, there is no denying the significance of mobile commerce (m-commerce) going forward. Thanks to branded shopping apps, high-speed data networks, and the allure of social shopping, it is now easier than ever for people to shop on the go using mobile devices.
Social media sales are also projected to triple by 2025, increasing competition between brands that invest in social commerce content. Moreover, spending on social media ads worldwide surged by over 38% between 2020 and 2021, highlighting the potency of this channel.
