According to BMI Research, the e-commerce industry promises great growth in the following years.
By the year 2022, the markets in the Middle East -will be driven by the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia – are expected to grow by 16.4 percent. That corresponds to an expected sales volume of 48.6 billion dollars.
