Yet only four out of 10 Canadian SMBs with an online presence sell, receive, and take orders online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rapid adoption of Internet and e-commerce technologies in Canada and around the world is completely changing the way consumers and businesses search for products, get recommendations, interact with companies and make payments,\u201d the report said. \u201cHaving an online presence is now a can\u2019t-miss opportunity for all businesses that want to continue growing and remain competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Canadian businesses \u2018invisible\u2019 to online customers<\/h3>\n<p>BDC\u2019s research suggested that the portion of Canadians buying online increased from 43 percent in 2013 to 61 percent in 2019, suggesting that the majority of Canadians are now buying online.<\/p>\n<p>The report found that retail e-commerce sales totalled $2.8 trillion USD in 2018 ($3.6 trillion CAD) and are expected to grow to $4.9 trillion USD ($6.6 trillion CAD) by 2021. Between 2013 and 2017, the growth in the share of Canadian businesses with a website was much slower than the growth of the share of e-commerce in total retail sales in Canada and globally.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-203733 lazy-loaded alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betakit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ecommerce-bdc-1-e1562611168500.png\" alt=\"ecommerce bdc\" width=\"1000\" height=\"657\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betakit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ecommerce-bdc-1-e1562611168500.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This means although the consumer trends and sales point to a growing shift toward e-commerce, a majority of Canadian businesses are not following suit. The report said this is worrisome, as businesses without a strong online presence could risk being shut out of global growth, leaving money up for grabs by online competitors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStill too many Canadian entrepreneurs leave money on the table for grabs by Canadian and foreign online competitors. Considering worldwide retail e-commerce sales are expected to double between 2018 and 2021, it is vital that Canadian business owners take their digital presence seriously,\u201d said Pierre Cle\u0301roux, vice president of research and chief economist at BDC.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cA strong online presence should be at the heart of any business that wants to continue growing and remain competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, e-commerce giants like Shopify are making big additions to their offerings. Last month, at Shopify Unite, the company\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/betakit.com\/the-three-e-commerce-game-changers-announced-at-shopify-unite-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unveiled<\/a>\u00a0new features for its business users, including an Amazon-like fulfillment network for qualifying US merchants, AR\/VR capabilities incorporated into product pages, and a renewed Shopify POS system.<\/p>\n<p>Montreal-based Lightspeed launched its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/betakit.com\/lightspeed-officially-launches-loyalty-platform-following-tsx-debut\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first loyalty program<\/a>\u00a0this year, soon after\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/betakit.com\/lightspeed-files-for-anticipated-ipo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">going public<\/a>\u00a0on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The program is intended to give retailers and restaurants the ability to create regular customers out of first-time guests, and to allow existing customers to become more engaged.<\/p>\n<h3>Cybersecurity still a top challenge for businesses<\/h3>\n<p>Businesses building their market expansion strategy on top of their online strategy are more likely to receive higher revenues and profit growth, and are nearly three times more likely to export, BDC found.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the report said companies face several hurdles when expanding their business online, the largest of which are data protection and security (32 percent), lack of knowledge of Internet technologies (25 percent), and finding and retaining talent (24 percent). Only 15 percent of respondents cited the cost of setting up an online store as their biggest challenge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-203747 lazy-loaded alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betakit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ecommerce-bdc-2.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1804px) 100vw, 1804px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betakit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ecommerce-bdc-2.png 1804w, https:\/\/cdn.betakit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ecommerce-bdc-2-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betakit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ecommerce-bdc-2-768x428.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betakit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ecommerce-bdc-2-1024x571.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betakit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ecommerce-bdc-2-600x335.png 600w, https:\/\/cdn.betakit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ecommerce-bdc-2-1040x580.png 1040w\" alt=\"ecommerce bdc 2\" width=\"1804\" height=\"1006\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betakit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ecommerce-bdc-2.png\" data-srcset=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another report released this year called cybersecurity the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/betakit.com\/report-cybersecurity-is-the-achilles-heel-of-canadian-tech-businesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Achilles\u2019 heel<\/a>\u00a0of Canadian tech.<\/p>\n<p>NOVIPRO\u2019s report found cybersecurity persists as the biggest area of concern for businesses across the country, with 57 percent owning confidential client information and of these, nearly four in five have already fallen victim to a cyber attack. Twenty-five percent of businesses have no recovery plan in place in the event of a data breach, and nearly half mention they would not inform their clients.<\/p>\n<p>The report also suggested businesses that expand online spent on average $37,458 on their website and $29,210 on online marketing in the last three years, observing that larger institutions tended to spend seven times more than smaller businesses to optimize their online presence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first step in expanding online into new markets is to get your online strategy right. Then, you can build your market expansion strategy on top of it,\u201d said Philippe Desjardins, business advisor at BDC. \u201cAs in many business opportunities, planning is the best way to achieve long-term, sustainable success and avoid common pitfalls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/W1B2LpQOBxA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This article was originally published on the <a href=\"https:\/\/betakit.com\/report-canadian-businesses-are-lagging-in-the-e-commerce-race\/\">BetaKit Blog<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published on the BetaKit Blog\u00a0&#8221; The Retail Times&#8221; \u2013 A weekly newsletter covering retail tech news from Canada and around the globe sponsored by Digital Main Street.
