This year number of m-commerce app downloadings increased more than 170% comparing to the last year
Smartphones dominate the m-commerce
In TIC, emphasis should be put on information and communication rather than technology
The customer journey has changed a lot : instead of following the process of shop->problem>solution->product, now customers follow another purchasing process: problem -> solution -> product -> shop
