In the next 20 years, e-commerce will continue to grow in importance as a channel for retailers. This growth will be driven by a number of factors, including the continued expansion of the global economy, the continued growth of the Internet, and the continued adoption of mobile devices.
E-commerce today
Today, e-commerce accounts for a relatively small share of total retail sales, but this is expected to change in the coming years. According to Forrester Research, e-commerce will account for 17% of total retail sales by 2023, up from 11% in 2018. This growth will be driven by a number of factors, including the continued expansion of the global economy, the continued growth of the Internet, and the continued adoption of mobile devices.

Global Economy
The global economy is expected to continue to expand in the next 20 years, which will provide a tailwind for e-commerce growth. According to the World Bank, the global economy is expected to grow at an annual rate of 3.0% in the next 20 years, up from 2.4% in the period from 2014 to 2018. This expansion will be driven by a number of factors, including population growth, technological innovation, and the continued opening of new markets.
The Internet
The Internet is also expected to continue to grow in the next 20 years, providing a boost for e-commerce. According to Cisco, the number of Internet users is expected to grow from 5.3 billion in 2022 to 6.0 billion in 2024, an annual growth rate of 3.6%. This growth will be driven by a number of factors, including the continued expansion of the global economy, the continued adoption of mobile devices, and the increasing availability of high-speed Internet access.
Mobile devices
Mobile devices are also expected to continue to grow in importance as a means of accessing the Internet. According to Statista, the number of mobile Internet users is expected to grow from 2.1 billion in 2016 to 3.8 billion in 2020, an annual growth rate of 20.1%. This growth will be driven by a number of factors, including the continued expansion of the global economy, the continued growth of the Internet, and the increasing affordability of mobile devices.
