They fully utilize the existence of technology in their daily life, and by understanding this you will realize why millennials are the ones to drive the e-commerce today.
Here are the following reasons and how important are they for the future e-commerce development:
1. Flexible with changes
Millennials are considered as adventurer or gambler. They always seek new changes and things, and despite that new changes, they don’t mind to explore it thoroughly.
Easy to say, they shape the future of e-commerce because they can come up with innovative idea for e-commerce and probably make it a trend.

2. Tech savvy
Compared to baby boomers, or generation Y, millennials are the fastest to adopt with new technology. Previous generations might just stick with what they are comfortable with but millennials are fond of new changes.
They are always on the go, and due to their population growth, online shops started to cater to the millennial’s needs.
Many online shops are creating an application to make it easy and simple for their customers to shop online.
3. Entrepreneurial by nature
Many of them show their passion for business ever since they are young, they know what they need and they learn quickly about what others want. Not only from entrepreneur’s side, they also value their perspective from customer’s side as they want everything to be simple and easy.
They easily detect any mistakes and want to improve it even though it might be difficult. They don’t mind invest heavily on what they are working for, until the solution is found.
4. Practicality-oriented
They always find practicality first before everything. Their intentions to purchase an item usually started when they see how hassle-free and convenient the e-commerce site is. Since millennials are more result-oriented, they want everything to be fast.
