Question

2. Read the passage given below and answer the question that follow.

(1) Do you know which industry is the biggest benefactor of bad roads and increasing traffic in India? It‟s the e -

commerce industry. Nearly 76 per cent of the respondents from ASSOCHAM survey said that they find it much easier

to do shopping from the comfort of their own desk or smart phones or tablets to type out a search phrase and click

“buy” than have to undergo a mall excursion. And when it came to online shopping, Delhi people beat the rest of

cities in India. Over 67% Delhiites prefer online shopping over the regular shopping with available deals online than

in brick and mortar. Mumbaikars (60%) came in second, Ahmedabad (52%) third and Bengaluru (50%) fourth in their

preference for online shopping.

(2) They survey pointed out that shoppers are increasingly taking the online route to escape worsening road traffic, increasing fuel

prices and lack of time. Another interesting find from the survey was that nearly 20 to 25 per cent online sales is now being

generated by mobile devices, an increase of around 10-15 per cent compared to last year. There is a reason why VC‟s are

pouring in big money into Indian e-commerce space. The e-commerce market stood at roughly $2.5 billion in 2009, it went up

to $6.3 billion in 2011 and to $16 billion in 2013 and is expected to touch shopping $56 billion by 2023 which will account for

nearly 6.5% of the total retail market.

(3) Highlights of the report:

Majority of the shopping happens from workplace, between 12 noon to 4 p.m. on a working day. More than half of the

sales happen on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and dips on weekends. 55% respondents shop online during

closing hours. Indian E-commerce companies are targeting 40% revenue from mobile sales in 2015. Fastest growing

age group that shop online are between 18 and 25 years. Among existing shoppers 35% are in 18-25 age group, 55%

in 26-35, 8% in 36-45 and 2% in the age Group of 45-60. 65% of online shoppers are male as against 35% female.

According to the survey most products bought and sold off through online comprise of electronic gadgets (58%),

books (42%), gift articles (41%), railway tickets (39%), accessories and apparel (36%), computer and peripherals

(33%), airline tickets (29%), music (24%), movie tickets (26%), hotel rooms (20%), magazine (19%), home tolls and

products (16%), home appliances (16%), jewellery (15%) beauty Products (12%) apparel gift certificates (10%),

sporting goods (7%).

(4) While convenience of shopping online is one of the main reasons, some of the other reasons why Indians

are increasingly shopping online are product availability, good discounts, detailed product availability,

good discount, detailed product information, product comparison and saving of time! The survey ranks Flipkart,

Amazon and Myntra as the top 3 e-commerce players in India, followed by Shopclues, Dominos, Freecharge, Jabong,

Tradus, eBay and Snapdeal. It is interesting to see Snapdeal ranking so low, as in terms of sales they are probably the

second largest after Flipkart.​
