There are multiple factors in favor of growth for the region. In the following lines, we will take a look at the latest eCommerce trends, key markets and key players involved in the Middle East markets.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Factors fueling eCommerce growth in the region:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Middle East\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">current internet penetration rate is 60 percent, well above the global average of 51.7 percent. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Half of the population in the Middle Eastern countries is currently under the age of twenty-five. Also, the region has one of the highest social media penetration rates in the world. The young demographic spends more time on social media platforms which encourages marketers to use multiple channels <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> improve customer engagement on their eCommerce websites<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Middle East markets have a relaxed taxation system as compared to the European market.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is easy to identify the customer personas as the Arab consumers can be segmented with fewer efforts.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Policies of many Middle East countries allow investors <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to repatriate their investments.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The untapped potential for eCommerce players is huge. Till now online sales in the Middle East are only two percent of the overall retail sales.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2014, the UAE government set up a duty-free eCommerce hub known as Matajir.com to work closely with various international companies. This initiative helped in establishing Dubai as a global eCommerce marketplace.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors such as the readiness of Arab consumers to adopt new technologies and an increase in usage of mobile devices have positioned the Middle East for a digital transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Governments of many Middle East countries are prepared to integrate paper-based information services (vehicle licensing, logistics tracking, passports\/visa insurance, and utility payment) with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">universal online payment platforms. This step enables risk-free online shopping.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"cta_box\">\n<div class=\"cta_title\">\n<h2>Launch a Successful Multi Vendor eCommerce Platform in the Middle East<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cta_button\"><a class=\"button customBtn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yo-kart.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Contact Us<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"leading-middle-eastern-trends\">eCommerce Trends in the Middle East<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><b>Shift Towards Localization (An Alternative to Globalized Authoritarianism): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To attract more local customers who refrained from online shopping because of language barriers, many luxury brands such as Dolce &amp; Gabbana, Burberry, and the Blue Nile have launched their websites in Arabic.<\/span><\/li><li><b>International Expansion Through Cross-Border eCommerce: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a new report by Paypal and Ipsos, in 2017-2018, around 61 percent of UAE consumers bought items from foreign websites.
