	<title>2026: The year e-commerce gets ruthless</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/2026-the-year-e-commerce-gets-ruthless-627121a</link>
	<description>E-commerce growth has temporarily slowed to roughly 1–2% in 2025, down from nearly 9% the year prior. Far from signalling decline, forecasts show a rebound to approximately 7.2% growth in 2026, marking the start of a more competitive and unforgiving era for digital retail. The catch? That growth won’t lift all brands equally.</description>

However, one time in summer 2019, the predictability was broken when I missed my connecting flight to New Delhi.</description>
