Top Impacting Factors

Driver: Growing Use of Subscriptions among Millennials

Millennials are driving the growth of the subscription e-commerce industry. Due to busy lifestyle and lack of time for purchasing goods from physical stores or ordering the same products online every week or every month, millennials prefer to subscribe to a product or service that they need on a regular basis. Millennials are generally more loyal to the specific brands of products that they prefer to use and are thus more likely to subscribe to a product or service for a long term. Also, the rapidly growing purchasing power of the millennials is anticipated to support the growth of the market. The income of millennials is expected to be higher than those of other generations group, that is, the baby boomers, generation X and the post millennials. As the income of the millennial population would grow, the number of subscriptions made by them for various products as well as online streaming media would also grow rapidly, thus providing a boost to the growth of global subscription e-commerce market.

Challenge: E-commerce Fraud

All the subscriptions made by the consumers require them to pay for those services online using their debit or credit cards. Online payment for subscriptions carries a risk for the consumers as well as the players in the subscription e-commerce market. While signing up for subscriptions, many people make payments using their debit or credit cards and are required to provide certain details regarding the same. Such details can be stolen and misused by third party users. Hackers can gain access to the data which they can use themselves or sell it to cyber thieves who use it for making fraudulent transactions. Fraudsters might also make use of fake debit or credit cards to pay the company. In such a case, the service provider would be left without any payment for the transaction. Thus, the rising incidence of e-commerce fraud can act as a major obstacle in the growth of the subscription e-commerce market.

Trend: Increasing Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence (AI) helps in bringing the personalization aspect in e-commerce platforms such as providing predictive recommendations based upon the customers' search and purchase history. Recommendation engines are the most widely used applications of AI in the online media streaming industry. AI is extremely helpful for platforms which run on a subscription-based model as it helps in making recommendations and providing products and services to the users based on their preferences. As a result, many companies are refining their subscription models with the help of AI to offer products that appeal directly to the consumers' interests. Thus, the growth of artificial intelligence would enable the players in the market to know their customers' interests and preferences and thus provide a more personalized experience to their customers, boosting the growth of global subscription e-commerce market in the upcoming years.
