Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 283.4 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 16.70% during 2024-2032. The growing internet penetration and digital literacy among the masses, increasing number of online payment solutions and proliferation of digital wallets, online banking, and fintech innovations, and rising number of companies opening their websites are impelling the growth of the market.

Russia E-commerce Market Trends:

Expansion of Online Payment Solutions

The expansion of online payment solutions in Russia is playing a crucial role in propelling the market growth. Traditional payment methods like cash on delivery (COD) are getting replaced by more secure and convenient digital payment options. The proliferation of digital wallets, online banking, and fintech innovations are also making it easier for people to complete online transactions confidently. Apart from this, companies are introducing secure and user-friendly payment gateways that cater to the local market's needs. Moreover, the integration of global payment solutions is enabling Russian e-commerce platforms to cater to international customers, enhancing cross-border trade. For instance, recently, five-nation BRICS group consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa announced the plan of working together on creating a payment system on the basis of blockchain and digital technologies. 

Increasing Internet Penetration and Digital Literacy

The rapid growth of internet penetration in Russia is significantly supporting the market growth. With a large population having access to the internet, more consumers are turning to online platforms for shopping. The increase in digital literacy, particularly among younger demographics, has bolstered this trend. As internet infrastructure is improving, even remote regions are gaining access to online shopping, expanding the market's reach. Initiatives of governing agencies of the country to enhance digital connectivity and promote e-commerce adoption are further supporting the market growth. Additionally, the rise in mobile internet usage has made online shopping more accessible, as consumers can shop anytime, anywhere. Mobile apps and responsive websites tailored for smartphones enhance user experience, encouraging frequent online transactions. This widespread internet availability and growing digital proficiency among Russians provide a robust foundation for the continued expansion of the e-commerce sector. In 2024, Russia announced its plan to launch Starlink-style internet network. The network access will be presented by operators of new satellite systems in non-geostationary orbit, enabling private users or a transport company to purchase a transmitter-receiver that will connect them to the internet after installing it in a vehicle or an aircraft.

Rising Number of Companies Opening Their E-Commerce Websites

With the rising availability of various products like gadgets, clothes, groceries, and household items online, people are preferring to shop via e-commerce platforms rather than visiting brick-and-mortar stores. Additionally, detailed descriptions and reviews of products present on these platforms are assisting buyers in making informed purchasing decisions. Thus, the increasing preference for online shopping among the masses is encouraging more companies to open their e-commerce website to connect with their customers and increase their sales. They are also relying on advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics, and cloud computing for offering personalized shopping experiences and optimizing their operations. According to Artem Sokolov, the chairman of the Association of Internet Trade Companies (AKIT), the e-commerce turnover in Russia might increase by 25 to 30% in 2023, hitting 63-66 trillion rubles.
