South Africa’s e-commerce sector is growing by billions yearly, but logistical challenges and fierce global competition make it difficult for local companies to remain competitive.
According to the report, the sector grew 29% from R55 billion in 2022 and now represents 6% of the total retail market, which generated R1.1 trillion in sales in 2023. A whopping 98% of this generation owns smartphones, and 32% shop online at least once daily, which is more than any other generation. “These services ensure the convenience promised by e-commerce platforms extends far beyond the digital transaction, to the physical delivery of products.”
“However, it is essential to continue protecting the business and maintaining the high quality of service we deliver to our customers.”For example, the Courier Guy’s customer support team uses conversational bots, which allow customers to input basic information such as names and label number details before their call or chat is routed to an agent.
Amazon, for example, offers a wide selection of local and international brands across 20 product categories, with same-day and next-day delivery options. Additionally, Amazon provides over 3,000 pickup points and an easy return system.One driver that Higgins believes fuelled hype around the Amazon South Africa launch was related to people’s experiences with other international digital businesses, such as Google and Netflix, which quickly dominated local markets.
