In my blog - Oh! It all started with the Barter System, I wrote about the selling trends of 50’s till 90's where- in one important link I omitted to mention in between the online selling of present day world and the old time way of selling. That is the Mail Order Business. The advertisements in print media converted into a sale by Mail Order Business. In the 60’s till the year 1970 the selling through Value Payable Post has been considered as the important link to the present day online selling.
Here is a brief history of evolution of Indian online market
(e-market) for your view – Online Sellers.
In the year 1991 – e-commerce introduced in India.

online e-commerce scenario in India.
2003 – Low cost Airlines and Big branded Airlines taken to
online ticket bookings.

Busy life style and lack of time to do the
market shopping.

Evolution of online market place mixed with
websites, social media and mobile applications.
India has got 250 million Internet users and 900 million
mobile subscribers. Online retail
marketing is expected to touch more than Rs.50000 Crores according to
Crisil. Total Indian market for
e-commerce is 50,000 crores. This consists of 80% or 40000 Crores by travel
e-commerce ( train, bus and air travel bookings) and non travel or retail e-tailing business is of 20% i.e., Rs.10000 crores. The experts are of the view that by the year 2025
online e-market will grow atleast to Rs. 4,00,000 Crores and the e-tailing will
grow to 50% that is for 2,00,000 Crores.
This is the encouraging factor for the future e-commerce trade in India.
The Indian buyers are always value minded and they
want the best value for the money spent.
This is possible only by e-tailing on the e-market places. The tremendous growth in the internet penetration in India from 3 million in 2001 to 100 million of the
present is one of the added factor for the interest shown in the online market
by the big brands. One percent of the internet users purchased through
online in the year 2001. Now it is 8 percent, that is eight million online shoppers.
