Welcome to the Silicon UK In Focus Podcast: The State of E-commerce! In this insightful episode, we dive into the factors driving the rapid growth of e-commerce, exploring how recent market conditions have shifted consumer behaviour and accelerated the need for personalised shopping experiences. With 80% of customers now expecting tailored interactions, we examine the strategies retailers should adopt to enhance personalisation, boost engagement, and stay competitive.

We’ll also discuss the challenges retailers face in managing high-quality data, how poor data impacts product recommendations and marketing effectiveness, and solutions for overcoming data fragmentation. Discover how AI-powered chatbots are revolutionising customer service and learn about the delicate balance between automation and human interaction in e-commerce. Plus, we’ll tackle the ethical considerations of using AI in personalisation, including data privacy concerns.
