In this article, we will learn how and why the online market has emerged from almost nowhere to be one of the biggest shopping sources of the present day market. But, before that let us have a brief look at the functioning and disadvantages of the traditional market.


Some few decades ago, the customers have no option but to shop at the traditional markets such as groceries and departmental stores to buy products to satisfy their needs. The traditional market offered limited choices and the customer had no option but to remain unsatisfied with low satisfaction levels. In addition to that, the presence of middlemen meant that the actual price paid by a customer was far more than what was the real worth of the product. A traditional market used to follow a chain revolving around the producers, middlemen and the end customers. This meant that the innovative products took a long time to reach its end customers. In addition to that, the cost incurred on advertising by the product manufacturers was also passed on to the customers.


Now, let us have a look at the online market. This market offers a stable and complete platform to the producers as well as the customers to buy or sell products and services at economical prices. Since, the middlemen is not present in an online market, the benefit is passed to the customers and this eventually leads to a fall in prices. The greatest advantage of online market is advertising at its very best. Internet offers producers to advertise their products at economical costs and in addition to that, the advertising can reach a wide range of audience, irrespective of the geographical location. These benefits led producers to introduce innovative products, and to get competitive margins and customers to get products and services of their choice at affordable prices.


Let us have a look at one of the most promising names in the world today - India, in context to online shopping. Online shopping in India has been witnessing an unprecedented success in the recent years. More and more online shopping stores are now coming up and the present day Indian customer is no longer reluctant to shop on the Internet. With the positive trends likely to continue in the coming years, the time is not far when online shopping in India will be enjoyed by all the economic classes of the country.


So, it can be easily concluded that there is no doubt that India has entered the world of online shopping with a bang. It is expected that this positive trait of the Indian economy and online market will continue in the years to come.
