4 Online Grocery Stores For Those Who Want A No-Frills Shopping Experience

E-commerce has seen a significant boost over the years. Alongside chunks of discounts attracting consumers to purchase various goods and services, convenience also plays a major role in the rise of online grocery shopping. And so do easy connectivity to the Internet and door-to-door delivery options.

More Filipinos are making the most of mobile commerce, or m-commerce, wherein smartphones are used to make online transactions.

The country’s online market is set to soar in the next 10 years. According to “e-conomy SEA: Unlocking the $200 billion opportunity in Southeast Asia,” a study conducted by Google and Temasek, the country’s e-market is projected to reach $19 billion (P918 billion) by 2025. This is translated to a 34-percent annual growth over the next 10 years, which is above the global average.

From convenient booking promo fares to saving time from strolling at the mall, e-commerce has been one of the most robust sectors to date. Online shopping Goliaths such as Lazada, e-Bay, Metrodeal, Cebu Pacific, Ensogo, Zalora, and OLX have been making apparent progress in the arena and are now considered household brands.

Even Walmart, the American retailing giant in the West, has already succumbed to the upsurge of e-commerce’s potential. According to the US Census Bureau, non-store retailers enjoyed year-over-year sales gains of 14.5%, while department stores and other traditional brick-and-mortar retailers suffered a major decline.
