The pandemic has led to unprecedented growth of e-commerce across the globe making eCommerce an integral part of the retail industry. eCommerce growth in UAE during this period has been particularly striking. With one-third of UAE consumers buying online products or services at least once a week the region clocked a growth of 35% in 2021, highest in the MENA region. Moreover, according to a Dubai Chamber of Commerce study UAE e-commerce market value is expected to touch $9.2bn in 2026.
It is a given that eCommerce has essentially altered the market space in the UAE. With this rampant growth and faster shift towards e-commerce, it’s time for enterprises to strengthen digital presence in order to fulfill the idea of next-gen commerce. To ride on this growth, companies will have to adapt and adopt new methods to do business online. While the rising internet penetration rates largely drive the expansion of the eCommerce industry, businesses will need to implement sturdy and reliable tech solutions to expand their online business rapidly.
