• South Africa has been comparatively slow to embrace the internet and e-commerce in general
• Historical factors behind this have been limited disposable income, poor internet infrastructure (broadband penetration), expensive data, expensive hardware & low trust in e-commerce fulfillment
• Geo-demographically we have not suited ecommerce (large land mass, with poor logistics infrastructure)
• All of the above factors are moving in the right direction: increasing, cheaper broadband penetration, rapid increase in smart mobile devices, more trust in e-commerce
• All indicators is that this will improve both steadily and exponentially in years to come
Historically Weak

Who owns who
So most of the large and ‘successful’ ecommerce brands in South African are not making a profit. They have invested huge amounts of money in brand building, technology, operating costs and people but may never be profitable. If they manage to take a very long view however they should enter the black over time.
Most profitable ecomm co’s to to date would appear to be Groupon, Vuvuplaza, BidOrBuy, OLX & local independent yuppiechef.
Reasons for profitability: Groupon & Vuvuplaza sweat other companies assets + did not require too much investment deep tech or inventory to succeed . The classifieds model (BoB & OLX are zero inventory co’s). Yuppiechef was bootstrapped between friends and grew organically over time.
