The share of e-commerce (goods) retail value sales accounted for by mobile e-commerce is rising rapidly. Indeed, it almost doubled between 2018 and 2021, approaching 40% during the latter year.
Dante International’s eMAG is leading the way in the shift to mobile e-commerce in Bulgaria, with most sales during promotional events like Black Friday accounted for by mobile e-commerce. The brand continues to benefit from its early entry into the category with a mobile app that was launched in 2015.
The expansion of mobile e-commerce is supported by an ongoing increase in the ownership of smartphones, the availability of affordable mobile plans, and widespread access to free Wi-Fi in cafés, bars, restaurants and hotels. Wi-Fi is also improving in consumers’ homes, allowing them to access the internet relatively cheaply from home.
Growth in mobile E-commerce retail constant value sales (goods) will remain dynamic but decelerate over the course of the forecast period. The gap between the respective rates of growth for overall e-commerce (goods) and mobile e-commerce (goods) will steadily narrow.
Growth in mobile e-commerce will be mainly driven by players that are focused purely on e-commerce, as they are expected to be at the forefront of mobile e-commerce development in Bulgaria. Such players have a sharp focus on online activity and are quick to introduce technological innovation, while multichannel players are typically more conservative, as they work to balance operations across store-based and online activities.
In the coming years, grocery and non-grocery retailers are expected to develop their presence online, particularly via mobile e-commerce, as COVID-19 continues to have an impact on consumers lives. Leading grocery retailers will boost their mobile e-commerce infrastructure to appeal to consumers seeking convenience.
