Why AI for eCommerce?
Traditional retail commerce relied largely on face-to-face customer handling as people had to walk into brick and mortar stores to buy what they wanted. With the Internet becoming a household utility in the 1990s, eCommerce started to grow in prominence.
eBay and Amazon are the retailers who gained the first-mover advantage by selling goods online. Ever since the birth of eCommerce, the whole retail landscape has undergone a sea change. The share of eCommerce in global retail sales is steadily increasing globally. eCommerce share of total global retail sales is 16.1% in 2020 and would rise up to 22% in 2023 - Statista.com.
