E-commerce surges ahead, and demand for talent rises sharply

E-commerce is no longer simply buying and selling online; it has become an ecosystem connecting businesses, customers, technology platforms, electronic payments, logistics and digital marketing. Alongside the growth of the internet and digital transformation, many businesses are stepping up omnichannel operations, developing websites, applications and online sales platforms to improve the customer experience.

Under the national development orientation for 2026–2030, e-commerce continues to be one of the pioneering sectors of the digital economy. This brings strong demand for people with knowledge of business, technology, data and digital marketing. In the coming years, roles such as digital marketing, e-commerce platform management, customer data analysis, CRM and online business operations are forecast to remain in high demand.

What jobs can you do with an E-Commerce degree?
