The eCommerce space is an exciting place to be, especially when you consider how much room for growth there is.
In 2018, 11.9% of all retail was attributed to eCommerce, this number is expected to increase to 17.5% in 2019. Considering that retailers reported $3.53 trillion in sales in 2017, I think it's safe to say that eCommerce has a big future in our world.
This means there is definitely enough eCommerce pie for you to get a slice, but you’re going to have to work hard for it as the competition fierce.
The world of eCommerce is highly competitive. In most cases, there are loads of businesses selling what you’re selling or offering the same service as you are. Then of course, there are the eCommerce giants of the world like Amazon and eBay.
