requires a comprehensive scientific analysis. The purpose of this article is to study the
impact of e-commerce platforms on consumer habits, to identify key motivational

E-commerce is a form of commercial activity carried out using the Internet and
digital technologies to sell goods and services. It includes online stores, marketplaces,
mobile applications and social networks.
Consumer behavior in e-commerce is based on factors such as convenience,
speed, range, price and service level. Unlike traditional shopping, online consumption
is associated with cognitive overload, mistrust of the seller and risks associated with
the quality of the product or return.
2. Key Changes in Consumer Buying Habits

With the transition to the digital economy, consumer behavior is changing:
•
Growth of online shopping: Over the past five years, the share of online sales in
Russia has more than doubled.
•
Use of mobile applications: More than 65% of users prefer the mobile shopping
format.
•
Buyer awareness: Before buying, most consumers study reviews, ratings and
product specifications.
•
Price and offer comparison: Online platforms allow you to quickly compare
similar products from different sellers.
3. Factors influencing decision making in e-commerce
•
Research shows that online shopping behavior is shaped by the following
factors:
•
Social proof: reviews and ratings from other users.
•
Usefulness of the interface: ease of navigation and ordering.

•
Payment security: availability of secure payment systems (Click, Payme,

•
Loyalty program and cashback: providing bonuses and discounts.
•

times.
4. Strategies for customer retention and engagement by companies

E-commerce companies are implementing a number of strategies to increase
engagement:

Personalization of offers based on purchase history.
•
Targeted advertising and retargeting.
•

5. Statistical and economic analysis of consumer behavior
According to Data Insight, in 2023, the average number of online purchases in Russia
per user was 9 orders per quarter. The main categories are clothing, electronics and
household goods. Women make purchases more often, men spend more.
Example of calculating demand changes:
In 2019, the average bill was 2,500 rubles.
In 2023
—
3,400 rubles (an increase of 36%).
There is also an increase in the share of repeat purchases
—
up to 74% in popular
marketplaces.
Economic assessment: The volume of the e-commerce market in Russia in 2019
was 1.66 trillion rubles, in 2023
—
already 2.4 trillion rubles, which reflects an average
annual growth rate of more than 10%. The increase in the share of online sales helps
optimize costs for rent, personnel and logistics, which has a positive effect on the
profits of enterprises.

Increased competitiveness: companies that actively invest in digital sales
channels demonstrate higher revenue and customer loyalty.
Thus, the development of e-commerce has a direct impact on macro- and
microeconomic indicators, contributing to the modernization of trade infrastructure
and sustainable economic growth.
According to the research company Data Insight, the total number of online
orders in Russia in 2023 was 3.5 billion, which is 28% higher than in 2022. Given the
average check of 3,400 rubles, the total market size can be estimated as follows:
Market size
= 3.5 billion orders × 3,400 rubles = 11.9 trillion rubles.
This shows a significant discrepancy between the official estimate of the market size
of 2.4 trillion rubles and the actual transaction volumes, which may be due to the fact
that the official statistics only include B2C segments, excluding C2C and B2B
platforms.
Forecast for 2025:
If the growth rate remains at 15% per year, the expected market size:
2024: 11.9
× 1.15 = 13.7 trillion rubles.
2025: 13.7 × 1.15 = 15.8 trillion rubles.
The growth of e-commerce is accompanied by an increase in the number of
people employed in the sector - in 2023, the share of people employed in online trading
was 3.2 million people, which is 18% more than in 2022.

The development of e-commerce has a significant impact on changing consumer
behavior and the economic structure. Digital trading platforms are becoming not only
sales channels, but also centers for analytics, personalized communications, and
marketing strategies. As a result, shopping convenience increases, transaction costs
decrease, and competition between companies intensifies.
The analysis showed that in the digital economy, there is a steady growth in
online sales, an expansion of the customer base, and active implementation of
innovations in the process of interaction with the consumer. Statistical forecasts
demonstrate further growth in market volumes, as well as an increase in employment
in the e-commerce sector.
These processes create a solid foundation for further growth of the digital sector,
increased market transparency, and sustainable development of the national economy.
It is important for businesses to adapt to these changes, invest in digital infrastructure,
and focus on the needs of the modern consumer.
