Invoice Discounting For Retail & E-Commerce Industry

India has witnessed a massive growth in the market for the retail and e-commerce sector. The prediction in 2017 stated that
the revenue generation for this industry will increase from US$ 39 billion in 2017 to US$ 120 billion in 2020. This marks the
annual growth of the industry at 51%, the highest growth marked by any country in this industry.

The electronics sector enjoys the largest share of the e-retail market segment in India. However, customers are now showing
an inclination towards purchasing other products from online platforms. This has led to an increase in products to meet the
varying demands of the customers.

Managing the daily operations and clearing unpaid invoices can be challenging, resulting in the need for quick access to
working capital. Invoice discounting can help fund the retail and e-commerce industry by freeing up cash sitting in unpaid
invoices. Both retail and the e-commerce industry need to purchase their products from the suppliers. In the case of large
orders, the vendors need to wait for the payments which are cleared anywhere between 30 days to 90 days in most of the
cases. Challenges like upfront payment to sellers, delayed receivables, prolonged and delayed payment cycle, high overhead
costs, and operational inefficiency further add on to the challenges that the industry could face.
