Consumer Attitudes & Online Retail Dynamics in India
06 Sep 2011 • by Natalie Aster
While online shopping in India is still at an emerging stage and only contributed 1.1% in 2010 towards total retail sales, India’s massive population offers tremendous potential to online retailers. Central to its growth will be India’s increasing middle class, constituting 288 million people. The online retail market has started serving a small base of consumers, however growth in the past decade has been very strong and this will continue in the forecast period (2010–2015). ICD expects online retail sales to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.02% during the forecast period.
The country’s e-retailing growth is being driven by the improving computer literacy rates and the internet capabilities of the young population. However, India has a low internet penetration with 6.05% in 2010. The major reason for this is that 70% of the Indian population resides in rural areas without the infrastructure for online services. During the review period (2005–2010), the number of internet users in India grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.21%. The average internet usage per week from the internet using population in 2009 increased from 9.3 hrs to 15.7 hrs. Government initiatives, such as the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP), State Wide Area Network (SWAN), Common Service Centers (CSC) and private initiatives such as the Google internet bus project, are attempting to bring internet awareness to the rural audience.
