Let's discuss this thread for our #GlobalEChats!

So what do you make of the wave of #ecommerce these days? Come delve into the ins and outs of it with us!
So #Entrepreneurs out there, what is ecommerce?

It just refers to electronic transactions done in the name of #sale and #purchase.

In simpler terms, you buy and sell things online with the #internet! That's it!
But to whom and from whom can these #transactions take place between? Surprisingly, it's not just between #business (B) and #Customers (C)!

It can take place between:
1. B2B
2. B2C
3. C2C (or P2P)
4. C2B
Out of the 4 possible transactions, let's talk about #P2P transactions also known as C2C!

Sounds weird but most of us have tried it before. Such as on @thecarousell! It's more of informal sale transaction.

If you think it's only a minority now, think again!
In 2016, Google reported that Southeast Asia’s e-commerce market will grow from $5.5 billion in 2015 to $88 million by 2025.

@thecarousell has raised between $70-80 million in its Series C funding!

Globally, it's set to reach $20trillion by 2020! That's only 2 years away!!!

To recap our poll, most of you feel physical brick and mortar shops will not be replaced with #ecommerce.

I agree. There is something about shopping and doing it physically that just brightens one's day.
But grocery #ecommerce is fast growing in Malaysia as well as elsewhere.

Perhaps we should look at this from a different #perspective.

#Ecommerce will never truly and fully replace physical stores. Perhaps it will merely complement and enhance our #shopping experience.

And isn't that what #tech is all about after all? What do you think?
