The objective of this report is to trace the E-commerce evolution in Pakistan with special focus on B2C e-commerce. The size of the e-commerce market in Pakistan as published in the annual report by the State Bank of Pakistan for the financial year 2018 is Rs99.3 billion(FY17: Rs51.8 billion) with a year-on-year growth of about 92 percent. However, the growth has been sluggish compared to other countries in the region. This report analyses the current challenges facing the industry and does a comparative analysis with India which has shown tremendous growth. The approach adopted to compare the two countries entails analyzing the consumer preferences as well as key players operating within the ecommerce industry. For consumer data collection, survey strategy was adopted regarding general consumer behavior and perception both in Pakistan & India. Although Pakistan’s e-commerce is growing, there are certain challenges that the industry needs to overcome. The factors contributing to its slow growth are broadly classified into two categories namely, consumer behavioral & infrastructural and have been elaborated in this report. With proper strategic planning, there is a huge potential for growth in this sector.
L'obiettivo di questo rapporto è tracciare l'evoluzione dell'e-commerce in Pakistan con particolare attenzione all'e-commerce B2C. La dimensione del mercato dell'e-commerce in Pakistan, come pubblicato nel rapporto annuale della State Bank of Pakistan per l'anno finanziario 2018, è di 99,3 miliardi di rupie (FY17: 51,8 miliardi di rupie) con una crescita anno su anno di circa 92 percento. Tuttavia, la crescita è stata lenta rispetto ad altri paesi della regione. Questo rapporto analizza le attuali sfide del settore e fa un'analisi comparativa con l'India che ha mostrato una crescita enorme. L'approccio adottato per confrontare i due paesi comporta l'analisi delle preferenze dei consumatori e dei principali attori che operano nel settore dell'e-commerce. Per la raccolta dei dati dei consumatori, è stata adottata una strategia di indagine riguardante il comportamento e la percezione generale dei consumatori sia in Pakistan che in India. Sebbene l'e-commerce in Pakistan sia in crescita, ci sono alcune sfide che l'industria deve superare. I fattori che contribuiscono alla sua lenta crescita sono generalmente classificati in due categorie, vale a dire i consumatori comportamentali e infrastrutturali e sono stati elaborati in questo rapporto. Con un'adeguata pianificazione strategica, esiste un enorme potenziale di crescita in questo settore.
