According to a new report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), online supermarkets around the world are booming because individuals and businesses are looking for bargains and other substitutes in times of adversity. .
According to the OECD, due to the growth of mobile phone users and the advent of advertisers, this global online shopping trend will only expand rapidly.
However, the reform of e-commerce has been disrupted by some hidden problems, such as privacy issues of personal information, language problems, transportation costs, taxation and supervision.
The Christmas consumption boom began, and this consumption season is critical for retailers and manufacturers around the world, and the OECD has highlighted other concerns. For example, Santa Claus may never give you items, items are defective, payment details may be stolen, and so on.
These are obstacles to increasing cross-border trade, especially within the EU. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development stated in a conference report entitled “Increase Autonomy of Electronic Consumersâ€.
The report found that the financial crisis has injected new vitality into e-commerce. While consumer disposable income has fallen, online sales in Europe and the United States are rising, and physical stores in retail are struggling.
“The financial and economic crisis seems to have greatly boosted e-commerce. Consumers have found ways to save money by shopping online.†The OECD says, “It can save a lot of money.â€
According to the report, according to the survey, shoppers in the UK, Germany and France can save 17% on online purchases of electronics, DVDs and clothing than in physical stores.
Another survey showed that 80 retailers in the United States had an average online sales growth of 11% in the previous quarter.
According to forecasts, Craigslist, the shopping site, will have sales of 100 million this year, a 23% increase from 2008 sales. And another online shopping platform, Amazon, this year's net sales in the previous quarter reached 17.7 billion US dollars, an increase of 24% over the same period last year.
The OECD also cited Forrester's research. The study predicts that by 2014, Western European consumers will buy online goods worth 124.1 billion euros, an annual growth rate of 9.6%.
One factor driving the development of e-commerce is the rapid growth in the use of mobile phones. Among the 30 industrialized countries surveyed by the OECD, from 1993 to 2007, the average annual growth rate of mobile users was 30%.
But the OECD warns netizens that future e-commerce is not completely secure.
It pointed out that half of the cross-border complaints submitted to the European Consumer Center Network came from online shopping disputes.
“Delivery issues and dissatisfaction with the products purchased are the main reason for complaints, accounting for 75% of all complaints,†the OECD said.
The customer stated that he was dissatisfied with the failure to ship the online retail website, send the wrong product, and contact with the merchant.
According to the OECD, although it has become easier to buy products from foreign companies online, consumers have indicated that they are not willing to do so. The main constraints are language barriers, high transportation costs, regulatory barriers, fraud and misleading behavior.
According to the report, 33% of EU consumers bought foreign products online last year, but this year only 7%.
The study found that most countries except the United States do not have specific provisions to protect children's privacy.
