ECOMMERCE IS A STORY OF GROWTH and egroceries is a sleeping giant

The opportunity is too big to ignore Global retail ecommerce sales will reach $4.5 trillion by 2021: a threefold increase from $1.3 trillion in 20141.

Grocery is changing The grocery sector, like other awakening giants such as the over-the-counter pharma market, has been slower to the ecommerce revolution but it is now set for exciting growth.

A survey by the Food Marketing Institute and Nielsen found that from 2016 to 2018, the number of US consumers making CPG purchases online almost doubled.2 And the picture is no different in other regions. Consumers’ desire for convenience is now being met by online retailers who are hearing the call.
