The country's B2C Ecommerce Gross Merchandise Value will increase from US$289.9 billion in 2022 to reach US$405.5 billion by 2027._x000C__x000C_Rising inflation and surging cost of living have severely impacted consumer spending in the United Kingdom. With the increase in energy prices, most brits are finding it difficult to manage their household budgets, and as a result, have cut down their spending on non-essential items. Consequently, leading to a significant decline in online shopping in the country in H2 2022.
Players across e-commerce segments have struggled to gain growth momentum in 2022. Amid the current economic uncertainty, food delivery platforms are also shutting down their operations in some global markets. With the Bank of England expected to further announce a hike in interest rates, the rising cost of borrowing is projected to further impact e-commerce growth in the United Kingdom from the short to medium-term perspective.

Retail sales declined in the United Kingdom amid weaker online shopping trends

Despite the year-end shopping season and events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, retail sales have reported a decline in the United Kingdom, largely due to the reduced online spending by consumers.
• According to data released by the Office for National Statistics, sales volume declined by 0.4% in November 2022. With consumers spending less on spurlging and saving more for essentials and daily-use items, e-commerce platforms have experienced a decline in order volume. Cash-strapped individuals have even adopted a buy now pay later solution to fund their groceries and fuel purchases. This shows the impact that rising inflation has had on the purchasing power of brits in H2 2022.
With recessionary fears, consumers are expected to save more in H1 2023, which will further result in a decline in orders for e-commerce marketplaces and direct-to-consumer retailers in the United Kingdom. Consequently, PayNXT360 expects the economic uncertainty to have a major growth impact on the e-commerce market from the short to medium-term perspective.

Like the broader economic condition, food delivery firms have also faced a tumultuous year in 2022. With losses widening and order volume decreasing due to reduce spending on takeaways amid the current macroeconomic environment, food delivery firms are exiting international markets to cut down costs and focus on profitability.
• In November 2022, Deliveroo, the United Kingdom-based food delivery firm, announced that the firm is shutting down operations in Australia. The competition in the segment has surged significantly in Australia, where the firm is competing with Uber Eats and DoorDash. This coupled with the pullback on takeaways due to rising prices has resulted in lower order volumes. In H1 2022, Australia counted for 3% of the total gross merchandise value for Deliveroo. Before Australia, the firm also announced an exit from the Netherlands market in August 2022. The move came after Deliveroo reported a larger pre-tax loss of US$177 million in H1 2022.

The firm announced that it could not reach sustainable profitability without investing significantly in these markets. Consequently, Deliveroo made a strategic exit from these markets to cut down on costs, while focusing on profitability in its home market. With the cost-of-living biting into the firm’s profitability, Deliveroo has also moved into the in-app advertising segment in 2022.
• In November 2022, Deliveroo announced that it has secured an agreement with Sky for advertising on its platform. Sky Glass is also the first non-grocer partner to advertise on the platform. With the majority of its partners belonging to the grocery industry, Deliveroo is focused to offer its users a food-first experience in the United Kingdom.
As food delivery businesses continue to struggle amid the current economic uncertainty, PayNXT360 expects more players to cut their operations in loss-making international markets, while adding another revenue stream to support their path to profitability from the short to medium-term perspective.

Paid video-on-demand users are expected to fall significantly in the United Kingdom market

The global pandemic outbreak resulted in a high-growth environment for video-on-demand services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. However, 2022 has been a difficult growth year for these firms, as the rising cost of living and inflation is eating into the paid subscriber number of these firms.

New players, including Paramount+, have entered the United Kingdom in Q3 2022. This has further intensified the competition for customer acquisition. To make up for the lost revenue, firms such as Netflix have launched an ad-supported plan for their subscriber in the United Kingdom.

While new players are entering the market and existing ones have adopted a different business strategy, the macroenvironment environment is projected to have an impact on the subscriber growth for these firms, as consumers are finding it difficult to even manage their grocery bills, let alone buying different video-on-demand subscriptions.
