Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, COVID-19 and related supply chain issues, rising energy prices, and strong inflation are slowing down e-commerce growth. Experts believe that e-commerce will level off or decline slightly over the next few years, although we may see it already begin its descent in light of recent events and global agenda changes.<br><br>This is just the beginning of a bleak picture. With inflation on the rise, consumers are already starting to cut back on online purchases. There are several obvious factors that have led to the current state:\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><ul class=\"lists lists__color--onyxGrey lists__type--circle lists__size--default lists__align--left block-lists__lists\">\n\t<li><strong>Logistics crisis: <\/strong>After a long hiatus due to the lockdown, people now want to order goods again, and this unprecedented influx is putting a lot of pressure on the logistics system, leading to an increase in out-of-stock situations<\/li><li><strong>Back to brick &amp; mortar shopping: <\/strong>People are willing to buy offline since restrictions are finally being lifted, also just for the sake of the live shopping experience<\/li><li><strong>Redirection of investments: <\/strong>The recent airport congestion indicates that potential buyers are choosing to invest their money in things like experiences rather than buying expensive goods<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class='block-title-and-content__item'><div class='block-title-and-content__item-inner'><p\t\tclass=\"typography block-typography__typography typography__color--onyxGrey typography__size--regular-body typography__align--left\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tIn the fall of e-commerce as a whole, we have recognized that it is not all bad. Amazon, while not necessarily at its peak performance, is still proving to be a reliable retail platform, still with a lot of growth potential for vendors and sellers. What is it that is keeping Amazon afloat and actually helping some vendors see new success? We have the answers.<br><br>At DEPT\u00ae, we have analyzed our clients\u2019 experiences to get an even better understanding of the current situation. Results show that across the EU, sales in the categories that were in high demand during the last 3 years (DIY, home appliances, etc.) are meeting a rapid drop right now. However, more necessary goods are gaining popularity among online purchases:\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div

shopping statistics resource <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/resources\/research-reports\/shopping-index\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salesforce Shopping Index<\/a>. Amazon has also recently declared its lowest revenue increase since 2001 and issued a numbing forecast for an e-commerce growth slowdown.<br><br>Another indicator of the poor mood in e-commerce is the falling stock prices of large online platforms. Investors fear that their growth may stall and profit will be hard to come by. For instance, Wayfair shares fell by 26%, hitting a new low, Shopify \u2013 by almost 15%, and Amazon also fell by 8%.<br><br>Even with this decrease, how has Amazon managed to incur the least damage? While Shopify\u2019s business model is based on selling online with the sellers\u2019 fees and app integration, Amazon benefits from much greater order frequency and customer lifetime value. The good thing about Amazon is that there will always be some stock. Even if a product is temporarily out-of-stock, other sellers of the same product can serve as a substitute, something that is hard to imagine on Shopify.<br><br>Amazon\u2019s server infrastructure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), serves as another competitive advantage as it is equally necessary in times of crisis. It is one of the most broadly used cloud platforms and therefore, offers insurance in almost any scenario that may arise.<br><br>It is also worth noting that Amazon wins also on the advertising pitch. As it is lower in the funnel and closer to the sale, brands are likely to utilize Amazon Ads long after they cut the budgets for the other ad channels.<br><br>These benefits all contribute to Amazon\u2019s crisis resilience and serve as a direct confirmation that now is the right time to invest in strengthening your position on this platform.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div

strategy to operations. In order to steer your marketing more efficiently, and therefore make your brand more resilient to crisis, we can help you benchmark your efficiency against the market in terms of your KPIs, but also in how efficiently you manage your account. Once we have a benchmarking system we\u2019ll be able to pinpoint where there is either saving or growth potential, and thus increase your conversion rate and visibility through SEO optimisation, perfect product presentation, and brand stores.<br><br>We also believe that in these times where not everybody is fully occupied by shipping products, the best decision is to get back to the basics and invest in yourself. If you take this time to prepare for the inevitable revitalisation of the market, you will set your business up for success. We offer a personalized series of workshops and sessions to help take your Amazon business to the next level in our Vendor Academy.<br><br>Diversification is another surefire way to access untapped market potential but can be difficult to master. We have the experience and knowledge to help you determine which other marketplaces you can expand to, maybe more niche ones, but which fit your brand.<br><br>Another option is to target new countries where you expect the economy to recover more quickly. For instance, US e-commerce is already showing signs of recovery, certainly faster than in Europe. This could be the right time to expand internationally, and we can definitely help you make this move with the right knowledge, while you can continue focusing on your core market.<br><br>For more insights on the current situation and, more importantly, how you can cope, check out our recent <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MLu2MrVJOI4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">webinar<\/a> on the e-commerce drop, where DEPT\u00ae Managing Director Nils Z\u00fcndorf discusses with DEPT\u00ae Head of Marketplaces Kevin Veenman and answer your questions live.
