AAEI Benchmark Report: e-Commerce Impacts Global Trade

The report explores the impact of online sales on retailers, manufacturers, and shippers, as well as:

• The upsurge of online shopping
  

• The fall of brick-and-mortar businesses 
  

• Challenges and obstacles for global e-commerce providers

• How automated technology solutions help provide a frictionless e-commerce experience

As globalization continues to expand and contract, e-commerce will rapidly spread into every retail category. Whether by choice or by force, there are few companies that won’t eventually embrace an e-commerce channel. The American Association of Exporters and Importers (AAEI) and Amber Road conducted an online survey of global trade professionals with an intent to create a report that provides a snapshot of e-commerce today.
