E-commerce has transformed the way business is done in India. As the pandemic has further accelerated the growth of this market, the need for brands to expand globally and create a niche for themselves in newer markets is also evident. As a result, cross-border e-commerce is slowly becoming the next big thing.
More and more entrepreneurs are realizing that it generates higher revenue and better opportunities. It opens up a new world of customers and demands. Statistics show that cross-border commerce's growth will be twice as fast as worldwide domestic e-commerce. The sector is estimated to reach $630 billion at a CAGR of 17.3 percent by 2022, as per Forrester Research.
Today, most industry bigwigs are adopting the model, and while MSMEs are realising the advantages, several concerns exist when it comes to cross-border trade.
Understanding cross-border trade to expand globally
The sector, while lucrative, comes with its own share of challenges. The paperwork, the global payment structures, and how to choose the right product to sell are just some of the various factors that cause hesitation. But that's exactly what Shyplite Surge aims to resolve on the second day of the event.
Shyplite Surge, Shyplite's first-ever mega virtual event, in association with YourStory, to be held from August 19-21, dedicates its second day to understanding cross-border trade as the next big thing.
