MUMBAI, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA, June 24, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- While interacting with prospect marketing managers working in the corporate sector at an event, Dr. Prakash Bhosale said, “COVID-19 accelerated the growth in online shopping. Despite this, online shopping only accounts for 10% of total grocery sales. A huge opportunity exists in the unexplored market.”

He further stated, “Today, thanks to e-grocery, consumers can shop online and get food delivered to their homes. In spite of this, a high failure rate of deliveries caused by the absence of the customer negatively impacts logistics efficiency, especially for perishables. In order to optimize e-grocery home delivery, e-grocery service providers must use customer-related data innovatively. To optimize delivery and increase delivery success rates, the approach estimates absence probabilities based on online grocery shoppers' data.”

Grocery online shoppers data are also known as Online shopper data, food app user data, e-commerce data, internet frequent user data, Online grocery, and frequent shopper data.

Develop high-demand products with predictive business models, and gain deep insights from huge consumer and market data.”

Grocery shoppers also purchase other products and services online. Online shopping is not only limited to groceries. For instance, customers' data from online groceries can be used for other eCommerce products, loans, credit cards, insurance, property, and vehicles.

Online grocery shopping is expected to account for over a third of the total number of online shoppers. 67% of salaried customers, 9% of self-employed customers, and 9% of other uncategorized customers buy groceries online.”
