Abstract

E-commerce, often known as electronic commerce, is the practice of purchasing and selling goods and services

online. Due to its many benefits, both financial and non-financial, e-commerce is attracting a lot of attention from business

owners. The internet is essential to e-commerce. Another interactive human communication tool that frequently takes the

place of traditional media is the Web. New kinds of media products can be created thanks to the nature of the Web, which

links multimedia and makes material and information accessible on widely dispersed websites. E-commerce has had a

significant impact on daily living, trade, and government administration. Geographical distance no longer plays as much of

a factor in establishing commercial partnerships because of e-commerce. Since it is relatively cheap to launch a retail website

or a community of producers, wholesalers, and retailers, barriers to entry into many types of enterprises are lower. By

establishing a virtual marketplace for consumers and companies alike, e-commerce has revolutionized trade and commerce.

Both consumers and sellers have the opportunity to purchase and sell goods and services around-the-clock. As a result, e-

commerce has become a major force behind global economic change. The swift adoption of e-commerce platforms in India

is causing notable changes in consumer and corporate activities. Understanding the many recent e-commerce trends is the

goal of this study since they facilitate growth and aid in the identification of company prospects. It also shows different e-

commerce trends in India and illustrates the benefits and drawbacks of e-commerce.
