Dear Sanjeev Bansal , in my opinion, and as a first draft of the discussion, these drivers seemed relevant to me:

• Technological AdvancementsThe proliferation of mobile technology, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence has enabled personalized shopping experiences, seamless payment integration, and real-time logistics management. For example, AI-powered recommendation systems and predictive analytics have improved customer targeting and demand forecasting (Kumar et al., 2021).
• Consumer Behavior ShiftsModern consumers expect convenience, speed, and 24/7 availability. Instant gratification culture, driven by Q-Commerce, has increased demand for faster deliveries and last-mile logistics innovations (Hübner et al., 2022). The COVID-19 pandemic also accelerated online shopping adoption (Verhoef et al., 2021).
• Logistics and Supply Chain InnovationsThe integration of micro-fulfillment centers, dark stores, and on-demand delivery platforms has reduced delivery times and operational costs. These advancements have reshaped last-mile delivery, making e-commerce scalable and efficient (Brewer & Sloan, 2021).
• Market Dynamics and CompetitionIntense market competition pushes companies to innovate continuously. The entry of new Q-Commerce players and investments in logistics infrastructure have enhanced service quality and reduced delivery windows, boosting customer loyalty and repeat purchases (Chen & Zhang, 2022).
• Policy and Regulatory EnvironmentGovernments’ supportive policies on digital infrastructure, data privacy, and fintech services have facilitated e-commerce expansion. Additionally, partnerships with local businesses and incentives for tech-driven startups have contributed to market growth (Lee et al., 2022).

teknolojik gelişmelere ve yapay araçlara daha hakim olmak bu iş için daha kolaylaştırıcı olabilir.

E-commerce growth is driven by internet access, mobile technology, digital payments, personalized experiences, social media, logistics advancements, and tech innovations.

• Mobil teknolojinin, bulut bilişimin ve yapay zekanın yaygınlaşması kişiselleştirilmiş alışveriş deneyimlerini, sorunsuz ödeme entegrasyonunu ve gerçek zamanlı lojistik yönetimini mümkün kılmıştır. Örneğin, yapay zeka destekli öneri sistemleri ve öngörücü analizler müşteri hedeflemesini ve talep tahminini iyileştirmiştir (Kumar ve diğerleri, 2021).
• Modern tüketiciler kolaylık, hız ve 7/24 ulaşılabilirlik bekliyor. Q-Ticaret tarafından yönlendirilen anında tatmin kültürü, daha hızlı teslimatlara ve son mil lojistik yeniliklerine olan talebi artırdı (Hübner vd., 2022). COVID-19 salgını ayrıca çevrimiçi alışverişin benimsenmesini hızlandırdı (Verhoef vd., 2021).
• Mikro-tedarik merkezlerinin, karanlık mağazaların ve talep üzerine teslimat platformlarının entegrasyonu teslimat sürelerini ve operasyonel maliyetleri azalttı. Bu gelişmeler son mil teslimatını yeniden şekillendirerek e-ticareti ölçeklenebilir ve verimli hale getirdi (Brewer & Sloan, 2021).
• Yoğun pazar rekabeti şirketleri sürekli yenilik yapmaya iter. Yeni Q-Ticaret oyuncularının girişi ve lojistik altyapısına yapılan yatırımlar hizmet kalitesini artırmış ve teslimat aralıklarını azaltmış, müşteri sadakatini ve tekrar satın alımları artırmıştır
