The Global 2021: Ecommerce Report is the latest edition of one of the flagship annual publications from RetailX. It is a culmination of intense research and analysis, offering clear-cut and commercially driven exploration of the state of ecommerce and multichannel retail in six regions – Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America and South America – and 35 individual countries.

It provides a clear picture of the digital maturity of each region, cross-border web traffic, disruptions in the supply chain and pandemic driven-changes in consumer habits. In addition to offering granular detail on key markets, the report offers the expert insights of RetailX’s team of researchers and analysts as they outline what’s happened to the global market in 2021 – and what lies ahead for 2022.

Whether discussing the future of stores, supply chain issues, automation, the ‘metaverse’, live-streaming, marketplaces or non-fungible tokens (NFTS), our experts view these topics from a digital commerce perspective to help our readership of ecommerce professionals to focus on the topics that will help improve trading, customer connection and give you a commercial advantage.
