In what ways do you think that eCommerce has affected the retail industry in the Arab world?

E-commerce is boom in Arab and we all should promote it as much as we can through Marketing & advertising. The Challenges we are currently facing is for the payment gateways in the region  and the lack of reliable solutions, we should launch 3-D Payment Gateway to make it secure and most reliable.

Sheer convenience, and ability to browse through product listings online, see their features, prices at different retailers, delivery services and fees makes it a compelling practice for many consumers.  Rather than driving down to a mall, look for parking space, walk around in a crowded mall and sift through hundreds of items does not appeal to many, when one can easily find the products they seek online from the comforts of their home, using a tablet or smartphone, app, and complete the transaction within minutes, securely and have the item delivered to your door within few hours or few days at most.  The time and convenience and be able to find the product at the right price among competitors drives the e-commerce model for successful retailers, from Walmart, Amazon to Ebay.

I don't think so that that E commerce has effected the retail industry. i still waiting that should 1 product become brand through Ecommerce. still TV commericals and ADS and Sale team, will more efective then E-Comerence.

our company is available online and offline in our day to day bussiness we are doing better bussiness in offline compare to online there is a big difference in sale figures that cannot be compare defeated.

so according to our sale reports there is threat from e-commerce.

thanks.

E COMMERCE IS EMERGING MARKET IN ARAB NATION AND RETAIL INDUSTRY IS NOT MUCH AFECTED IN UAE LIKE OTHER COUNTRIES COMPARING INDIA.

Provide explanation on product specifications

Invaluably. The rise of ecommerce in the UAE has given consumers more confidence, convenience and choice in the way they shop and connect to brands. We are now seeing more than ever a shift change in buying patterns, particularly on mobile. This means it's fundamental for retails to have a strong online strategy and infrastructure to remain competitive and maximize sales growth.  

First of all its not affect at all. we should update ourself to adapt the developments. In my view most of arabic world aware of eCommerce evolutions nowadays.

I think arab world has started accepting the ecommerce mode of purchase product. it has been a slow and late start in arab but they have picked up very well. With strong support gov policies and favorable business environment, e-commerce agencies are setting up there base in arab world help client to get strong ecommerce foundation and better shopping experience.
