Global Agricultural E-commerce Market – Dynamics

Cost Competition

Competition among players operating in the agricultural sector has increased strongly in the past few years. Offline sales have increased the pressure of cost, supply chain, and intermediaries within the whole ecosystem. E-commerce is an efficient tool for micro and medium size businesses. This has helped sellers to reduce the transportation cost and also enabled access to untapped markets.

Increasing Adoption by Smallholders

It is increasingly clear that e-commerce has become a new and effective way of helping smallholders gain access to the market. E-commerce has empowered smallholders to sell most of their products at a higher price than before because of the elimination of the price squeeze from intermediaries and the marketing constraints of information asymmetry. The adoption by small holders is driving the growth of the agricultural e-commerce market.

Unawareness and Poor System Infrastructure

South America and Asia Pacific which are fastest growing regions face strong technological and digital gaps within the agricultural industry. The level of awareness among farmers or small sellers and the network infrastructure to smoothly run agricultural e-commerce at remote locations is not very effective. Unawareness about agricultural e-commerce and poor network infrastructure is hampering the growth of the market.

Asia Pacific to Dominate the Global Agricultural E-commerce Market

In terms of region, the global agricultural e-commerce market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the agricultural e-commerce market during the forecast period due to its strong dominance in the agricultural industry and increasing adoption of e-commerce platforms for selling agricultural products.
