The ecosystem of e-commerce in Turkmenistan is turning the corner. Consumer confidence, the central element for success in the digital marketplace, is rising fast.
Statista estimates that the volume of ecommerce in Turkmenistan will reach about USD 370 million this year. The projected annual growth is 8.06%, which will bring the trade volume of ecommerce to USD 544 million by 2029.
According to the projections of Statista, the number of users of the ecommerce platforms will be approximately 800000 by 2029.
Looking at the way the people in Turkmenistan are turning to online shopping, these estimates seem rather conservative. The real growth is quite likely to be much higher than that.
The online platforms including stores and service providers are also growing fast. There are already more than 300 online stores offering a vast variety of items and services. We are talking here of only the entrepreneurs and enterprises who have a structured web presence and have registered with the authorities as online providers of goods and services.
The digital marketplace, in its B2C structure, understands that the ease of use and reliability are essential for their success. A satisfied customer is the best advertisement they can have.
The postal service of Turkmenistan (Turkmen Pochta) is playing an important role in the promotion of ecommerce. — https://shop.post.tm/
The entrepreneurs and companies can display their products at the website of the postal service. The post office that has its own presence in every corner of the country, makes quick delivery of the orders. It is beneficial for all – the seller, the buyer, and the post office. Currently, the post office is handling about 10000 parcel deliveries a day.
On B2B side, the State Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange of Turkmenistan has been tasked with introducing advanced methods for conducting electronic trading.
