Why running an e-commerce store is so hard in 2025?

[Medical-enthusiast]

E-commerce industry is thriving a lot. However, despite it's popularity, the e-commerce business is not free of challenges. I think that there are many reasons why running an e-commerce site is harder than people think. E-commerce industry is full of competition. In the past, there were very few e-commerce stores and this gave many investors the room to invest in this industry. Since e-commerce business is becoming so much popular, it is also becoming over-saturated as well. Online marketing is the best way to deal with these problems. So, what are other challenges associated with running e-commerce company in 2025?

Running an e-commerce store in 2025 is challenging due to fierce competition, rapidly changing technology, rising customer expectations for fast delivery, data privacy regulations, and the need for constant digital marketing.

It is not difficult, it just requires time, discipline and constant market research, analysis of your competitors, etc. Perhaps for some it may seem difficult because of the embellishment that marketing, for example, by YouTubers has to make you believe that e-commerce is something very simple. It is not impossible or very complex, but it is not extremely simple or easy either.
