- Social Commerce Startups are working on logistics and delivery mechanism and some are developing their own shipping automated platform as Lack of pin code coverage & ability to track orders on a real-time basis has created a communication gap between buyers & sellers in India.
- Quality Check Mechanism getting improved over time. More quality checks are happening to get more suppliers on board and immediate blacklisting of suppliers is done thereafter. Consequently, a lesser number of order rejections, RTOs, and Returns are observed from customers.
- Unhindered growth in social media usage & the rising number of Smartphone owners is the driving factors for the growing number of orders. Short-form video platforms like TikTok in terms of e-commerce in tier 2 and 3 cities in India, rules over Instagram, tapping local influencers to engage the audience, solving queries, and persuading the users to place the orders.
Enhancing Customer base in Tier 2 & 3 Cities: A higher success rate of the social e-commerce market is seen in pyramidal societies like India that have income disparities. Emerging startups are focusing on adding multiple languages for the non-English speaking populations from India’s mid-tier towns and cities that are majorly relying on video contents on social commerce apps or videos on social media platforms.
Growing Internet Penetration: Increasing internet connectivity & smartphone penetration in Tier 2 and 3 cities drive the major growth in the country. People with access to the internet will reach 840 Mn by the end of 2022 wherein more than half of the population would own a smartphone. Order placement is becoming convenient as even the platforms are shifting from taking orders via websites to Mobile Apps.
Consumer Electronics Orders to increase: Electronics in the last years have seen higher Returns & RTOs. With an increasing number of quality check mechanism in electronics, the trend has changed and people are actually looking forward to the products such as Bluetooth and grooming devices and mobile phones that lies in their budget. Such driving factors will increase the proportion of the Electronics segment in the market.
