Summary
Why was the report written?
“Consumer Attitudes and Online Retail Development in India” is the result of Canadean’s extensive market research covering the online retail industry in India. It provides the magnitude, growth, share, and dynamics of the online retail market in India. It is an essential tool for companies active across India’s online retail value chain and for new companies considering entry into the Indian online retail market. It provides data for historic and forecast online retail sales, and also includes the business environment and country risk related to the Indian online retail environment.By examining best practice from leading national large-scale online retailers (but specifically excluding the likes of Amazon whose sites are well-known and vary little by country), as well as reviewing innovative approaches from smaller companies, the report provides insights and ideas about how best to approach growing online sales for your business.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
Local retailers currently have the monopoly over the Indian online retail market, since restrictions on entry into the retail market prevent foreign firms from marketing their products to Indian consumers. As of July 2012, foreign retailers are not allowed entry into the multi-brand retail segment, while regulations with regards to their entry in single brand retailing were relaxed in late 2011. Foreign retailers therefore have minimal influence in the market.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Consumers have been reacting to the effects of the global recession, including the following recovery period, on their discretionary spending and retail markets have been no exception. While the country by country market changes have varied, nowhere has been left totally untouched.This report quantitatively examines the components of change in the market by looking at historic and future growth patterns including how changes in consumers’ behaviour have affected the online retail sector for different product categories.
Reasons To Buy
Indian business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions are limited to travel/event ticketing, hotel reservations, and digital downloads (primarily songs and images downloaded through mobile phones).
Low internet penetration, inferior logistics infrastructure, preference to shop at brick and mortar stores, and lack of consumer confidence in the online channel meant online sales of physical products are almost negligible.
