MARKET CHALLENGES
In today’s market, consumers certainly have unlimited choices when making purchases, and it will likely put online sellers or business owners to work harder simply to meet customer demands and preferences. Hence, it presents a consequential market challenge for them. In addition, online shopping could also be challenging for online sellers, as they constantly experience a decline in sales due to several factors such as counterfeit products, price dumping, supply chain issues, and most importantly, a lack of market research and customer insights.
Product counterfeiting
One of the major market challenges is counterfeit products on various e-commerce platforms where they often lure customers with cheaper prices, but they lack the quality and reliability of genuine products. This may lead to customer disappointment after unknowingly purchase knockoff products, and eventually leads to negative reviews and damage the reputation of legitimate brand.
Additionally, counterfeit products can also have a substantial negative impact on a business's revenue by causing a decline in sales of genuine products, leading to financial difficulties and instability.

This will eventually result in the decline in industry profits as it causes economic and psychological harms on an individual, company, as well as industry profitability.
