Currently, ecommerce business in Bangladesh is the most popular, trendy, and profitable enterprise. The most exciting part is that it annually brings millions of dollars in revenue to Bangladesh.  

Based on the trade research institution research and markets.com, the Bangladesh e-commerce market is currently worth Tk56,870 crore and is forecasted to reach Tk1.5 lakh crore by 2026. 

One of the biggest reasons for the rapid popularity of e-commerce business is the availability of innovative & digital technology in every hand. 

People can now buy and sell anything using an e-commerce website anytime. The e commerce industry in Bangladesh has opened up a new pace of shopping and spending time online. 

People now shop for anything anytime, precisely without physically going to any shopping mall. In the initial days, people used to be afraid to purchase anything using the internet, but as time passed, the new generation accepted it as a regular practice. 

The e commerce industry in Bangladesh is classified into four different parts 

  • Business To Business (B2B)
  • Business To Consumer (B2C)
  • Consumer To Consumer (C2C)
  • Customer to Business (C2B)

Raise Of E Commerce Business In Bangladesh

The revolution of e-commerce business in Bangladesh started in the early 2000s, when Bangladesh wasn’t advanced in the internet era. Ordering online is huge for everyone. 

However, after 2008-2009, when Bangladesh Bank legalised online transactions, people gained the courage and trust to purchase online. 

This ecommerce business has slowly opened new sectors of ecommerce business jobs, ecommerce entrepreneurship, and many more. 

Ajkerdeal and Bagboom were the first e-commerce websites in the industry. Even though they were the first mover, they couldn’t crack the industry. Currently, numerous ecommerce platforms are successfully running their ecommerce business.

However, after 2012-2013, different e-commerce companies entered and took this industry to new heights. As per ecommerceDB.Com, Bangladesh will earn US$7,520.3 million in 2023. Bangladesh is expected to earn a compound annual growth rate of 15.8%, with a forecasted market volume of $13,502.8.

Bangladesh's Market Current Trend 

Bangladesh follows four types of ecommerce business criteria:

  • Business-to-Business (B2B)
  • Business-to-Consumer (B2C)
  • Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C)
  • Business-to-Employees (B2E)

Generally, the people of Bangladesh prefer cash on delivery instead of using debit and credit. Besides, Bangladesh faces some severe challenges in the ecommerce industry. Challenges such as: 

  • Not enough delivery companies 
  • Low internet penetration rate 
  • Online frauds 
  • Not so strong privacy policy or return policy 

Domestic Ecommerce(B2C)

Bangladesh also has different ecommerce domestic ecommerce sites like different online food delivery services such as Foodpanda, Pathao Food, etc. This online food delivery service business has drastically helped different restaurant businesses to boost up their sales also in the period of a pandemic. 

B2B eCommerce 

Bangladesh also follows B2B ecommerce in different industrial sectors, such as manufacturing and supply chain industries. Besides, the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers Employee Association (BGMEA) established a new system of B2B ecommerce solutions for international RMG sectors and domestic garments. 

Cross Border e-commerce: 

Cross-border e-commerce was also gaining momentum, with many Bangladeshi consumers making purchases from international websites. This had implications for customs and import regulations.

Online Payment 

According to Bangladesh's perspective, cash on delivery is the safest and most reliable transaction method for ecommerce business. As per e-Cab data, 90%+ of e-commerce end-user choices choose COD getaway mode. Most ecommerce platforms offer multiple types of transaction modes.  

Mobile Ecommerce 

The International Telecommunication Union(ITU) confirmed that almost 88.1% are mobile data users, while 30% are broadband subscribers. Bangladesh is moving forward to a new milestone, which is mobile banking. Mobile banking includes cash-in, cash-out, merchant payments, utility payments, salary disbursement, foreign remittances, and fund transfers.

Legal & Regulatory Environmental

To protect the privacy of both buyer and seller, Bangladesh has developed an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Act of 2006. In the ICT act, it's been stated that any kind of fraud will result in imprisonment/fines. 

Conclusion  

The e-commerce business in Bangladesh was a dynamic and growing industry as of 2022, driven by increasing internet penetration, changing consumer preferences, and a supportive regulatory environment. 

It was an industry with considerable potential for further expansion, but it also faced challenges that needed to be addressed, such as building trust and improving logistics.
