New Delhi, India - 13/06/2016 - As e-commerce rates rise worldwide, more and more Indians are searching for sources of coupons they can apply to online purchases. By most estimates, India’s total retail market is expected to more than double by 2020, with the ecommerce industry in particular projected to grow to 100 million consumers and a value of 15 billion by 2017.

The number of internet users in India is also on the rise, with the current number of 230 million users expected to exceed 600 million within three years. This means that a large portion of our population is still not using the internet; and efforts need to be made by the government and the startup and internet eco-system in India, to promote internet penetration and usage.

In e-commerce and online shopping a coupon code is a code, consisting of letters or numbers. All you have to do is to get the items that you want on the internet, enter the codes at checkout and then the amount that the code is worth is deducted from the amount that you should pay for the items.
They are the best way for you to enjoy online discounts while you shop online and today, shopping on the internet is not only fun but it is also a great way of saving money especially if you use online coupon codes.

A recent study undertaken jointly by Yahoo and Mindshare analyses the shopping behavior of customers to reveal that 31 per cent shoppers opt for online shopping in order to save the time and effort that might be spent on physically going to stores to buy the same products. About 28 per cent customers are driven to buy online due to the availability of discounts and promotions while the convenience to shop anywhere, anytime attracts the remaining 21 per cent, it said.

The study also highlights how more and more customers are taking to mobile phones to make online purchases as compared to other electronic devices.

Average online purchases in India are expected to increase by 78 percent this year on the back of attractive deals and aggressive marketing of merchandise, industry chamber Assocham said on Sunday. “Unfazed by slowdown, average online purchases are expected to increase by 78 percent in 2016 from 66 percent in 2015, due to attractive deals and aggressive marketing of ever-expanding range of merchandise from clothes to jewellery, from electronics to books,” said a study by Assocham and international accounting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers.

"The ecommerce landscape in India is perhaps the most dynamic in the world, largely due to the rapidly evolving mobile ecosystem. This research highlights the role of mobile from the top of funnel to the bottom and how it varies across product categories. It will help us develop sharper, more connected communication strategies for brands," MA Parthasarathy, Chief Product Officer, Mindshare South Asia said.
