Market Overview

A retail e-commerce approach called dropshipping enables businesses to sell goods without maintaining any physical inventory. When a retailer engages in dropshipping, they sell the goods to the buyer and then transfer the sales order to an outside supplier, who delivers the purchased item straight to the customer on the retailer's behalf. Dropshipping vendors are exempt from investing in product inventory, warehousing or storage space, or managing the fulfillment process. Dropshipping has become a popular and practical business model for e-commerce entrepreneurs, who can run profitable stores with a simple setup and no risk, because of the cheap overhead entry costs and ease of beginning a business. Dropshipping has made e-commerce more widespread by enabling several firms to flood markets with specialized products.
