Online shopping activities projected to slow down in H1 2023 amid rising rates in Australia
Shopping events like Black Friday and Boxing Day sales are projected to drive incremental revenue for brands and marketplaces. Consumers are planning to shop big during the year-end shopping season in Australia. However, the spending is projected to decline significantly thereafter in the country.- Rising interest rates will the foremost factor that will result in a decline in consumer spending in H1 2023. Furthermore, tighter household budgets will lead to more price-sensitive consumers in Australia. This will lead to a significant shift in consumer behavior, as more and more consumers will turn to marketplaces that offer better value for their purchases.
Domestic and global food and grocery delivery providers are shutting down operations in Australia
With the declining number of consumers ordering food and groceries online, food delivery providers have faced a difficult year amid the various economic challenges arising due to geopolitical and macroeconomic factors. These challenges, along with growing competition in the space, meant that domestic and global firms are shutting down operations in the Australian market.- In December 2022, YourGrocer, the domestic delivery service provider, announced that the firm is closing operations in Australia. Being battered by rising petrol and food prices, higher interest rates, and investor skepticism, informed the customers that it will no longer deliver their orders starting December 16th.
- Before YourGrocer, United Kingdom-based Deliveroo also announced that the firm is closing operations in Australia, owing to increasing competition faced from firms like Uber Eats and DoorDash. Deliveroo announced that it cannot reach sustainable profitability in the Australian market without making any significant investment. However, with the firm already reporting heavy net losses and Australia counting for only 3% of its total revenue, Deliveroo decided to exit the market as part of its cost-cutting strategy.
Firms are extending their strategic collaborations to further strengthen their position in the Ecommerce Ecommerce category
The online pharmacy space garnered significant growth during the pandemic outbreak. With convenience and easy access, more consumers have turned to online channels for their health-related requirements, thereby driving industry growth. To capitalize on the growing momentum, firms are extending their collaborations in Australia.- In December 2022, HealthyLife, an independently operated firm under Woolworths Group, announced that the firm had extended its alliance with SuperPharmacy, which has been the Group’s partner since 2021. The partnership will enable HealthyLife to access warehouse assets offered by SuperPharmacy, and in turn, will provide Ecommerce services and platforms.
