e-retail segment was worth US$2.3 billion, about 70% of India's e-commerce market is travel related. According
to Google India, there were 35 million online shoppers in India in 2014 Q1 and is expected to cross 100 million
mark by end of year 2016. CAGR vis-à-vis a global growth rate of 8–10%. Electronics and Apparel are the biggest
categories in terms of sales. According to a study conducted by the IMAI the e-commerce sector is estimated to
reach Rs. 211,005 crore by December 2016. The study also stated that online travel accounts for 61% of the e-
commerce market. By 2020, India is expected to generate $100 billion online retail revenue out of which $35
billion will be through fashion e-commerce. Online apparel sales are set to grow four times in coming years.
India's retail market is estimated at $470 billion in 2011 and is expected to grow to $675 by 2016 and $850 billion
by 2020, – estimated CAGR of 10%. According to Forrester, the e-commerce market in India is set to grow the
fastest within the Asia-Pacific Region at a CAGR of over 57% between 2012–16. As per "India Goes Digital", a
report by Avendus Capital, the Indian e-commerce market is estimated at Rs 28,500 Crore ($6.3 billion) for the
year 2011. Online travel constitutes a sizable portion (87%) of this market today. Online travel market in India is
expected to grow at a rate of 22% over the next 4 years and reach Rs 54,800 crore ($12.2 billion) in size by 2015.
Indian e-tailing industry is estimated at Rs 3,600 crore (US$800 million) in 2011 and estimated to grow to Rs

years.
LITERATURE REVIEW:
Electronic commerce, commonly written as e-commerce or ecommerce, is the trading or facilitation of
trading in products or services using computer networks, such as the internet or online social networks
Electronic commerce draws on technologies such as mobile commerce, electronic funds transfer, supply chain
management, internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory
management system and automated data collection systems. Modern electronic commerce typically uses the
world wide web for at least one part of the transaction's life cycle although it may also use other technologies
such as e-mail.
E-commerce businesses may employ some or all of the following:
• Online shopping web sites for retail sales direct to consumers
• Providing or participating in online market places, which process third-party business-to-consumer or
consumer-to-consumer sales
• Business to business buying and selling
• Gathering and using demographic data through web contacts and social media
• Business-to-business (B2B) electronic data interchange
• Marketing to prospective and established customers by e-mail or fax (for example, with news letters)
• Engaging in pretail for launching new products and services
• Online financial exchanges for currency exchanges or trading purposes
Global trends
In 2010, the United Kingdom had the biggest e-commerce market in the world when measured by the
amount spent per capita as of 2013, the Czech Republic was the European country where ecommerce delivers
the biggest contribution to the enterprises´ total revenue. Almost a quarter (24%) of the country’s total turnover
is generated via the online channel Among emerging economies, China's e-commerce presence continues to
expand every year. With 668 million internet users, China's online shopping sales reached $253 billion in the first
half of 2015, accounting for 10% of total Chinese consumer retail sales in the same period. The Chinese retailers
have been able to help consumers feel more comfortable shopping online. E-commerce transactions between
China and other countries increased 32% to 2.3 trillion yuan ($375.8 billion) in 2012 and accounted for 9.6% of
China's total international trade In 2013, Alibaba had an e-commerce market share of 80% in China In 2014, there
were 600 million Internet users in China (twice as many than in the US), making it the world's biggest online
market. China is also the largest e-commerce market in the world by value of sales, with an estimated US$899
billion in 2016.
METHODOLOGY:
This paper is fully done by secondary data, collected from sources like Research agencies, websites and
news papers. The main purpose of this is to give a glance of Demonetization and its effects on e-commerce.
FINDINGS:
Despite the impressive numbers, skepticism around e-commerce is still alive –and for good reason. The
Indian e-commerce industry is still far from making profit. In fact, Flipkart was devalued by 27 percent by Morgan
Stanley and later another 15 percent by T Rowe Price recently. They are valued at less than $10 billion, from $15
billion in 2015. A few weeks ago, online restaurant discover platform Zomato was devalued by 50 percent, to
$500 million, by HSBC. As much as these companies say there is no funding crunch, it is an open secret that most
biggies are struggling. A Live mint report recently stated that Flip kart and Snap deal in fact are stagnant and
seeing a fall in sales. The latter is also scaling down regional operations now. India is a massive E-Commerce
marketplace now with every age group comfortably transacting online – more often preferring shopping online
instead of visiting offline stores for a bigger gamut of choices and offers. The West shops online 10X more than
India, but then India has the world’s 2nd largest number of smart phones and growing
E-Commerce industry is growing at an astounding rate in India and is expected to account for 1.61% of
the global GDP by 2018. The Asia-Pacific region is currently the largest E-Commerce market in the world,
surpassing Europe. While China continues to lead the race, the Indian E-Commerce Industry isn’t far behind.
According to a report by Forrester, India is set to become the fastest growing market in the Asia-Pacific region
with an expected growth rate of over 57% between 2012-2016. To better understand the Indian market, 100+
retailer clients, through 1.4+ million purchases, from over 2+ million transactions. A first of its kind in India, this
study is unique in its findings about the booming Indian E-Commerce industry. Online marketers of every size are
benefiting from these findings.

DEMONETIZATION:
The goal of the demonetization move in India is to make the economy stronger and eliminate the parallel
cash economy which is unaccounted and untaxed. While this can impact the GDP negatively in the short term, it
should have positive long term consequences. For e-commerce companies, which already have a digital
payments system in place, it should lead to higher online payment and eventually eliminate the painful cash on
delivery option. However, in the short term, witness a decline in GMV from India as the economy adjusts to the
“new normal”.
CONCLUSION:
E-commerce is not a new industry, technically speaking, but it is creating a new economic model. Most
people agree that e-commerce will positively impact economic society in the future, but in its early stages its
impacts are difficult to gauge. Some have noted that e-commerce is a sort of incorporeal revolution. E-commerce
has numerous social benefits: one, the cost of running an e-commerce business is very low when compared with
running a physical store; two, there is no rent to pay on expensive premises; and three, business processes are
simplified and less man-hours are required to run a typical business smoothly. In the area of law, education,
culture and also policy, e-commerce will continue to rise in impact. E-commerce will truly take human beings into
the information society.
Demonetization will help the e-commerce industry and insist or encourage the people to use more cash
less transactions in day to day life, so that the people need not carry the money in currency form for any
purchases like Hair oil to shoe from Head to legs of human needs. This will helps the banking sector to expand the
business to rural areas quickly and do the more business to reach the general public for their regular activities.
Lower inflation, lower interest rates and lower budget deficits are likely to be the long term positive
macroeconomic effects of the move, which should stimulate economic growth and benefit businesses in the
region. However, as the country undergoes this huge transformation from a cash dominant economy to a near
cashless economy. This move will definitely bring about a sea of change in the way transactions are done in India.
And help strengthen the economy by wiping out black money and fake notes. While e-commerce companies that
see a huge chunk of payments happening through Cash on Delivery mode will face some challenges in the initial
few days, in the long run this move will only bring about positive changes.
