The Who, What, and Where of Online Shopping in 2022

Better post-purchase experience is the key to long-term growth

According to Statista, eCommerce sales worldwide touched a new milestone in 2021 and grew to $4.9 trillion, up from $3.3 trillion in 2019. These numbers are expected to reach $7 trillion by 2025. Needless to say, the COVID-19 pandemic is the primary factor more and more customers have come to embrace online shopping. With this paradigm shift in the eCommerce landscape, customer expectations have also drastically shifted. Gone are the days when retailers could play around with the “price point” to maximize their sales.
