E-commerce Websites & M-commerce Integration

As digital commerce is such a progressive sector, there is a constant need to gain and analyse new information to better understand what is changing and how. Many studies are carried out to meet this need and the results of a recent survey by global digital commerce consultancy Salmon are particularly enlightening.

Salmon commissioned the survey in an attempt to gain insights about how the business landscape is being affected by e-commerce and m-commerce. 150 key decision-makers were surveyed, each representing a UK-based organisation with a staff of more than 500 individuals. Survey results were published in a report entitled ‘British Business in the Digital Age’ and included:

• 41% of luxury revenues are accounted for by digital channels

• 26% of retail revenues are accounted for by digital channels

• On average, 73% of respondents believe digital commerce to be an important part of their industry. Broken down, the figures were 33% (wholesale), 87% (retail) and 100% (luxury goods)

• All industries expect e-commerce and m-commerce to grow in importance over the next ten years

• Average digitally-generated revenues equate to 19% across all of the industries that were surveyed

• By 2025, all industries expect revenue growth through digital channel sales - luxury goods are projected to be sold primarily digitally by this time, at 60%

• M-commerce continues to grow in importance though many respondents felt challenged by the changes - issues cited included growing mobile sales into a central channel (67%), integrating mobile with existing sales channels (23%), lack of knowledge in-house (19%) and lacking investment and/or interest from senior board members
