The main reasons for the emergence of e-commerce are as follows:
The development of information technology and network technology: the widespread application of computers, the popularization and maturity of networks, and the formation and development of information systems have provided material basis and technical support for e-commerce. In particular, the growing maturity of Internet technology has enabled e-commerce to expand rapidly worldwide.
The promotion of economic globalization: The development of economic globalization requires the unimpeded flow of goods between countries, and the rapid growth of international trade and the emergence of multinational corporations have driven the development of e-commerce. As a new business model, e-commerce can transcend time and space limitations, achieve global resource sharing and trade exchanges.
Changes in market demand: With the intensification of market competition and the diversification of consumer demands, traditional business models are no longer able to meet the needs of enterprises. E-commerce, with its characteristics of convenience, efficiency, and low cost, meets the needs of enterprises to pursue paperless commercial trade, improve the speed of commercial document transmission and processing, and also provides consumers with richer shopping choices and more convenient shopping experiences.
