I have just listened to the McKinsey report on the future competitive landscape. Thanks to the McKinsey team for the valuable insights! Here's what stood out to me about e-commerce: 1) E-commerce could be one of the leading areas in the future: As digital technologies evolve and new product categories emerge, e-commerce is well positioned to drive the global economy. 2) In developed markets, e-commerce already accounts for about 20% of retail sales: In regions such as North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe, about 20% of retail sales are made online, with room for even more growth. 3) Enormous growth potential in emerging markets: In places like Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East, e-commerce represents a smaller share of retail sales, but the growth of smartphones and Internet access creates great expansion opportunities. I believe that the same will happen in Moldova, and the MD market needs to change.

A new report I co-authored with McKinsey Global Institute colleagues. Do check it out. While it is difficult to make predictions, especially about the future, we: (1) Look back to find "arenas", industries that transformed the business landscape. They earn greater profits, spawn global giants, and offer strong opportunities for new entrants. They differ significantly from non-arenas in growth and dynamism. (2) Identify the ingredients in the "arena-creation potion": business model or tech step-changes, escalatory investments, and a large or growing addressable market, leading to intense competition. (3) Attempt to look forward and suggest 18 possible arenas of the future (as well as 8 almost-emergent arenas), and set out the various swing factors and uncertainties. Thank you to my co-authors, Chris Bradley, Michael Chui, Kevin Russell, Kweilin Ellingrud, and Suhayl Chettih, as well as the many others involved.
