DELHI, India - Aug. 7, 2018 - PRLog -- Chitrangana, industry experts in the e-commerce sector, have projected a 47% growth for the 2018-19 fiscal, a year after the online retail business saw a drop off owing to historical demonetisation announcement of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes.
At the time of the demonetisation, several eCommerce websites reported a fall in sales, especially due to fewer Cash on Delivery (CoD) orders. However, eCommerce consultants believe new shoppers from tier 2, 3 cities will lead to at least 25% growth in the industry. The consultants cited the mobile internet revolution for the influx of new customers in the burgeoning e-commerce industry.
The report also projected a 7% increase will be contributed by customer base in metro cities, which will add up to a whopping 15 percent growth for the year 2018-19.
Mr. Nitin Lodha, a renowned eCommerce consultant, believes the market is no longer plagued by non-performing and amateur start-ups that effectively ruined the eCommerce experience with their "unprofessional practise."
