Take one look at Best Buy scrambling to hang on to market share and it's easy to see how eCommerce has been crushing brick-and-mortar <keyword id="6354851" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Retail">retail</keyword>'s business for a while now, especially in developed markets.
According to a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/morgan-stanley-ecommerce-disruption-2013-1">new report</a> from Morgan Stanley's internet and retail team:
"Fulfillment execution is key to realizing eCommerce’s disruptive potential. By 2016, our AlphaWise survey and global eCommerce model suggest a nearly 50% increase in penetration of retail sales, to 9.3% (from 6.5% today), surpassing $1 trillion."
And the market is far from saturated.
<div class="image-container" style="width:602px"><div class="image"></div>Morgan Stanley</div>
 Fulfillment execution will remain the key factor driving growth, said the report, followed by price, selection, convenience, distribution and cost structure.
More specific to the U.S. market, the extent to which eCommerce will give brick-and-mortar a run for its money will depend on:
1. How well eRetailers innovate when it comes to fulfillment
2. Investments that will give eRetailers the ability to lower their price points, which will lead to higher sales but at lower margins

The E-Commerce Boom Is Just Beginning

<keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword>'s <keyword id="15391148" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="e-logistics" source="Orion">e-logistics</keyword> sector has become one of the largest and fastest growing logistics markets globally and is all set to reach the $9 billion industry, with a compound annual growth rate of 35 per cent, a report showed on Monday. The number of e-commerce logistics shipments is expected to grow by four times in the next five years. "Thanks to new-age tech-enabled players who have entered India's logistics arena, it is now easier for small- and medium-sized businesses to transport goods, and there is a drastic increase in the speed and efficiency in which parcels are delivered," says the report by Bengaluru-based <keyword id="13724596" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="redseer-strategy-consultants" source="Orion">Redseer Strategy Consultants</keyword>. Among such players, Delhivery is well positioned at the cross-section of the various logistics sector growth drivers including infrastructure, offline commerce, digital consumption, and adoption of technology and data sciences. The e-commerce logistics sphere has contributed to the overall growth of India's logistics sector and enabled the e-retail boom in India. The proliferation of smartphones and localisation of the internet in non-English languages is drawing in new consumers from non-metro locations into the internet economy and creating new demand for online commerce, thus paving the need for disruption in logistics. According to the report, the availability of multiple payment options such as <keyword id="6358921" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="upi" source="Orion">UPI</keyword>, no-cost <keyword id="6357050" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="emi" source="Orion">EMI</keyword>, BNPL (buy now, pay later) etc. are further driving the adoption of digital commerce by more consumers, thereby creating a need for e-commerce logistics. "Multiple segments in the India logistics market are addressable by full-stack-tech-enabled logistics service providers. There seems to be great headroom for growth as tech-enabled logistics players venture into adjacent segments such as hyperlocal delivery, express delivery, trucking, and more," the report mentioned.

India e-logistics industry set to touch $9 bn with e-commerce boom

AMAZON'S B2B WHOLESALE MARKET IS A SLEEPING GIANT: Amazon is quietly building one of the most disruptive businesses online - <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2014/05/07/amazons-wholesale-slaughter-jeff-bezos-8-trillion-b2b-bet/">a business-to-business wholesale market called AmazonSupply</a>. Amazon launched the business in 2012, and it's seldom ever mentioned on earnings calls - or anywhere for that matter. Wholesalers generated $7.2 trillion in revenues in 2012 (that's online and offline sales), according to the U.S. Census, while retailers took in $4 trillion in revenues selling to consumers. If Amazon executes as well as it did in the retail market, AmazonSupply could grow into an even larger business than the merchandise it sells to consumers on Amazon.com. 
SIGNS THAT E-COMMERCE IS BOOMING FOR RETAIL CHAINS: <a href="http://www.internetretailer.com/2014/05/07/mobile-growth-drives-187-increase-q1-web-sales">Online sales increased nearly 20% year-over-year in the first quarter for more than 100 retailers</a>, according to e-commerce software company <a href="http://www.marketlive.com/">MarketLive</a>. Although the retailers weren't named specifically, we know that MarketLive's clientele includes major brands such as Aveeno, Design Within Reach, Modell's, Fossil Inc., and Helzberg Diamonds. This is the sixth straight quarter that MarketLive clients have posted double-digit online sales growth. All of MarketLive's top clients appear to be retailers that originated as physical stores, but now operate across channels (commonly referred to as "omnichannel" retailers). Bricks-and-mortars are becoming increasingly effective at leveraging e-commerce to gain new customers and also retain loyal ones who might be doing more shopping online, rather than in stores. 
ALIBABA IPO OFFERS GLIMPSE INTO CHINA MOBILE COMMERCE: E-commerce giant Alibaba filed for an IPO earlier this week in the U.S., giving us a better look at how consumers shop online in China. More than three in four mobile commerce dollars spent in China last year flowed through Alibaba's online marketplaces. That suggests that any further smartphone penetration in China will directly benefit Alibaba - and we predict a lot of upside. As of last month, only 37% of 1.3 billion Chinese mobile subscribers were on 3G and 4G wireless networks. <a href="https://intelligence.businessinsider.com/mobile-accounts-for-a-fifth-of-all-e-commerce-spending-flowing-through-chinas-alibaba-2014-5">Tablets and smartphones channeled 20% of Alibaba's purchase volume in the final quarter of 2013</a> (see chart below), roughly double the proportion as in the same period a year ago. We expect the share Alibaba sales attributable to mobile to increase significantly over the next year.

ZULILY EARNINGS EXPOSE FULFILLMENT ISSUES: Zulily, a daily deals site for mothers, is growing its business faster than expected, but that's causing all sorts of growing pains for the company. <a href="http://investor.zulily.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=845791">Sales totaled $238 million for the first quarter, which is up 87% from the same time period last year, and the number of paying customers were up 93% to 3.7 million for the quarter</a>. This surge in business caused fulfillment problems at the end of March - shipment times were averaging 13 days. Zulily CEO Darrell Cavens said on the earnings call yesterday that he's not concerned about long shipping times when there's a surge in orders, because people don't purchase from Zulily based on need. That's risky thinking at a time when e-commerce sites are becoming ultra-competitive on shipping times.
COUPONS.COM EARNINGS SHOWS THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM FOR COMPETITION IN ONLINE COUPONING: Coupons.com posted strong first quarter earnings yesterday. <a href="http://otp.investis.com/clients/us/coupons/usn/usnews-story.aspx?cid=789&amp;newsid=16339">Quarterly revenues totaled $51.5 million, which is up 41% from the same time period last year</a>. Earlier this week, one of the company's chief competitors, RetailMeNot, posted quarterly revenues of $61.3 million, an increase of 51% year-over-year. The fact that both companies are performing so well indicates that there is plenty of room in the growing business of online couponing. This is a result of more consumers going online to shop, and carrying their smartphones - ideal vehicles for coupons - when shopping offline. These shoppers are now being conditioned to check these coupon sites for discounts before making any kind of purchase. 
TRIPADVISOR'S BUSINESS PICKS UP AFTER WINTER WEATHER: TripAdvisor <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/PressCenter-i6730-c1-Press_Releases.html">revenues totaled $281 million in the first quarter, which is a 32% increase over the previous quarter and 22% bump over the same time period last year</a>. The quarterly growth was a result of relatively mild weather compared to this year's harsh Northern Hemisphere winter, which led to an uptick in travel. We expect online travel bookings to continue to increase in volume over the next few months. On the company's earnings call, CEO and President Steve Kaufer announced that TripAdvisor now has more than 150 million customer reviews covering four million hospitality businesses and attractions around the globe. For comparison, Yelp has just over 57 million reviews about local businesses. 
<a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-news/Tiger-Global-leads-15m-funding-race-for-Limeroad/articleshow/34700751.cms?">Tiger Global led a $15 million investment in LimeRoad</a>, an online shopping site for women in India. Tiger Global seems to be investing heavily in Indian e-commerce, as it already has stakes in Flipkart and Myntra.
Apple's new Head of Retail Angela Ahrendts <a href="http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000118143114017960/xslF345X03/rrd408240.xml">has received more than 113,000 units of restricted Apple stock which is valued at more than $68 million</a>. The stock-options are a sign that Apple has high hopes for Ahrendts since a portion of her compensation will be directly tied to how the company performs. 
PERSONNEL MOVES:
Airbnb has hired Jonathan Mildenhall as its new chief marketing officer. Mildenhall previously worked at Coca-Cola where he was senior vice president of integrated marketing communication and design excellence. <a href="http://adage.com/article/cmo-strategy/airbnb-taps-coke-exec-jonathan-mildenhall-cmo/293053/">Mildenhall was recognized by Ad Age in 2012 as one of the most creative professionals working in advertising</a>. 
Travelocity CEO and President Carl Sparks <a href="http://skift.com/2014/05/06/travelocity-president-and-ceo-carl-sparks-leaves-the-company/">has reportedly left the company,</a>according to Skift. The reason for his departure is still unknown, and a replacement has not yet been named.

The project will be based on "a reformed version of capitalism," he told Recode."It's a new model for society we'll be testing," he added.Walmart's e-commerce boomed under Lore's leadership. The retailer's annual sales growth in ecommerce surged to 50% in 2018, and recently recorded a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/walmart-ecommerce-sales-reach-sky-high-growth-in-recent-quarter-2020-8">97% yearly increase</a> in the quarter ending on July 31, 2020.

He intends to write a book and develop a TV show.In an email to employees, Walmart president and CEO Doug McMillon said "While Marc will leave his current position, he will continue to play an important role as an advisor and partner to Walmart." He added, "I want to thank him for his passion for associates and customers, and for helping in our transformation."Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/walmart-is-quietly-starting-a-venture-to-guide-healthy-shopping-2021-1?r=aa-sub">Walmart is quietly building a startup that wants to help shoppers make healthier choices</a>Lore <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/marc-lore-walmart-interview-2018-1">founded</a> Amazon competitor Jet.com, and later sold the company to Walmart for $3 billion in cash plus stock.

"A lot of the time those don't mesh as seamlessly as you might hope they would, so I'm not surprised by it," Lore said at a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/walmart-marc-lore-confirms-internal-tension-greg-foran-2019-9">2019 conference</a>.

It paid about $16 billion for roughly 77% stake — this remains the single-largest foreign direct investment in an Indian company.Flipkart is likely to choose either Singapore, where the company is incorporated, or the US, where parent Walmart is based, for its <keyword id="6354763" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="ipo">IPO</keyword>, said two other sources, who asked not to be named.Flipkart and Walmart did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment.The sources said the preparations and discussions have been largely internal for now, but the company is preparing to consult external advisers soon.Two other sources familiar with the plans said that work has begun to meet compliance, legal, and finance standards ahead of a potential listing.One of the sources said the company expects to launch the IPO in late 2021 or early 2022, but the pandemic has made this uncertain. The second person added that top-level internal meetings regularly refer to being "IPO ready."<h3>India's e-commerce boom</h3>In July, Flipkart raised $1.2 billion in fresh funding with Walmart as its lead investor. That round valued Flipkart at $24.9 billion.China's Tencent, US hedge fund Tiger Global, and Microsoft invested in Flipkart as part of a $1.4 billion funding round in 2017.India's booming e-commerce sector is expected to be worth $99 billion by 2024, according to Goldman Sachs. In May 2020, India's largest company Reliance Industries launched grocery delivery service JioMart, which is growing rapidly and delivering <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jiomart-is-building-up-its-order-volume-in-india-2020-7">more than 250,000 orders per day</a>, according to CNBC TV18.Flipkart competes with both JioMart and Amazon, which has reportedly been offered a 40% stake in Reliance Industry's <keyword id="6354851" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="retail">retail</keyword> arm, which includes JioMart, for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/india-reliance-retail-offers-amazon-stake-worth-20-billion-report-2020-9">$20 billion</a>.Flipkart is tapping into the demand for online shopping, which has soared during the pandemic, by creating 70,000 new jobs for its "Big Billion Days" sales."Big Billion Days" is similar to Amazon's Prime Day, and rakes in the company's biggest sales for the year. The sale lasts four or five days and usually starts around October during India's festive season, which ends with Diwali. The company said on Tuesday it would also sign up more than 50,000 kiranas, or small grocery stores, for last-mile delivery.

Websites powered by the e-commerce company also experienced their best sales due to the increased holiday traffic as more people shopped online."The spirit of entrepreneurship was strong in 2020, as our merchants' resilience and ability to adapt helped many of them thrive in a difficult year," <a href="https://news.shopify.com/shopify-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2020-financial-results">said Harley Finkelstein, Shopify's President</a>. Shopify reported adjusted earnings of $198.8 million, or $1.58 a share, in the fourth quarter compared to $50 million, or $0.43 a share, in the same period last year. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting $1.26 a share.Revenue was $977.7 million, rising 94% from the same period last year. This surpassed forecasts of $913.1 million. Shopify said it would reinvest profits "back into our business as aggressively as we can."For 2021, Shopify said it expects subscription solutions revenue growth to be driven by more merchants around the world, and merchant solutions revenue growth to be driven by continued gross merchandise volume growth from existing and new merchants. The company added that its outlook is based on the assumption that "populations are able to move about more freely, the overall economic environment will likely improve, [and] some consumer spending will likely rotate back to offline retail and services."Founded in 2004, Shopify has since expanded into setting up e-commerce websites for small to medium businesses and has handled the digital payments of various partners.It powers over 1.7 million businesses in more than 175 countries and is used by brands such as Allbirds, Gymshark, Heinz, and Staples Canada.Shares of Shopify traded at $1,371.25 at 11:28AM E.T. on Wednesday.

It's more than just 32% e-commerce growth in 2020 that's driving new players into the space. FedEx and UPS have spent the last year or two taking a hard look at their own businesses. The resulting changes are upsetting the status quo.UPS CEO <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ups-ceo-carol-tome-ecommerce-strategy-test-2021-7">Carol Tomé's "better, not bigger" strategy</a> has led the company to leave some customers behind if their business wasn't profitable enough.

Apart from the USPS, nobody matches the national reach of UPS and FedEx. Existing alternatives are largely regional players. So e-commerce logistics startups, many with Amazon alumni at the head, are looking at the problem in a different way. Instead of creating national networks of facilities, trucks, and drivers, they're using technology to stitch together the smaller logistics operations already in play. Some are making tools and launching services so retailers can more seamlessly use this patchwork of smaller carriers as a national solution. Some are reorganizing the vast number of crews of workers and fleets of vans that contract out delivery services to the traditional players in a new way. All are looking to offer flexibility and speed while attempting to build what e-commerce has yet to prove it can deliver for almost anyone: profit.

A wave of e-commerce logistics startups is threatening to break the UPS and FedEx duopoly

With smartphones and tablets accounting for a larger share of paid search spending, Google is modifying its mobile products to better woo search marketers. Most recently, Google unveiled a plan to enable consumers to purchase products from mobile search ads, <a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/54b54d20f641911a16b4ea962u135.2sp/VaaIrMPoJ8qVrZyVA25d7" target="_blank">reports</a> TechCrunch. A new feature, aptly called Purchases, will bring a "buy" button to select promoted mobile search results. When a user clicks the "buy" button they'll be brought to a page where they can purchase the product advertised. Google is testing the feature with about a dozen retail partners now and plans to roll out the service throughout the US between late 2015 and early 2016. This story was originally sent to thousands of professionals in the mobile industry in this morning's MOBILE INSIDER newsletter.

Paid search spending on tablets grew by 22% YoY in Q2 2015 and smartphone spending grew by 71%, according to a new <a href="http://e.businessinsider.com/54b54d20f641911a16b4ea962u135.2sp/VabqjMPoATOJdqYNA2d4f" target="_blank">report</a> from IgnitionOne.</div></div></div>The new feature is also likely aimed at helping Google maintain its share of the mobile search market against encroaching competitors like Bing. Yahoo's Bing search engine has seen major growth in mobile search impressions and spending.<ul><li dir="ltr">Bing impressions grew 98% on tablets and 30% on phones YoY, whereas Google tablet impressions contracted -26% and smartphone impressions grew by only 1%.</li><li>Similarly, smartphone search spending on Bing rose by 78% and smartphone cost per click (CPC) was up 73%. Smartphone spend on Google rose 69% and CPC was up 18%. </li></ul><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div>This quarter marks the end of a 3-quarter streak wherein Bing was able to steal share of US paid search advertising spend. At the end of Q2 Google finally stabilized to account for 75.5% of all paid search advertising on the two services, compared to Bing's 24.5%. Google's rebound was likely catalyzed by the numerous mobile-friendly search products it's been rolling out, which are improving the mobile search experience. Google will likely keep improving its mobile search offerings, and competing search engines that want to stay relevant in the mobile space will have to make similar enhancements to win market share.
