Significant Growth in E-Commerce is Expected due to Digital Transformation

  • The digital economy is significantly developing with access to the internet made available across the globe. Various e-commerce market vendors are expanding their business in the Romania market to meet the growing demand for online retailing.
  • The government is taking various strategic initiatives to enhance Romania's digital economy. For instance, the Romanian government launched the National investment and economic recovery plan in 2020, which will cover the years from 2021-to 2030. This plan will include the creation of an interoperability hub, the introduction of the electronic identity card, the migration of public services to a government cloud, and more such strategies.
  • Similarly, in May 2022, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Deputy Secretary announced the partnership of the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics - ICI Bucharest and the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to host the first International Conference on Cyber Diplomacy. The conference was hosted to protect data from cyber attacks due to the exposure of essential data with the increase in dependency on digital assets.
  • Smartphones provide a great platform for buyers across the world to explore different market trends and websites for e-shopping. From Augmented Reality (AR) supported software that has significantly changed the e-commerce market by enabling the easy purchase of furniture and clothing online or ordering users' favorite Cappuccino from Starbucks, digital transformation has made lives less complex.
  • As Romania is adopting digitalization, various market players in digital industries are looking forward to expanding their footprints in Romania. For instance, in January 2022, Mastek, a software company, announced the launch of its new office in București, Romania.

  • Social media websites and apps are used by a growing number of users in Romania, which shows how social plays a major role in e-commerce. Moreover, many social media platforms are developing their own e-commerce sites.

  • The fashion industry in Romania is witnessing continuous growth as the market players are looking forward to making various acquisitions in order to utilize their expertise in the online fashion industry.
