When it’s all about the evolution of e-Commerce industry in last 20 years and so on; It is just like digging a small pond so deep that it turns into a river!
The retail business has completely changed and jumps over the top of the industry niche due to the revolution of eCommerce. Thus, it’s proven to be a big threat to traditional malls as well. If the fact still looks unbelievable to the readers, here is an exciting example: “The first ever Amazon’s online book sale was shipped in 1995 by Jeff Bezos, but it never drew the consumers’ attention. But according to the data released few years ago by the U.S. Commerce Department, it indicates that Americans spent $304.91 billion online in 2014 alone.” This is not only called ‘EVOLUTION’, but ‘Real Change’.
