The document discusses the growth of e-commerce in Bangladesh, driven by increasing internet and smartphone usage. It notes that online shopping has become increasingly popular due to barriers to life in urban areas like Dhaka. This trend is occurring not just in cities but also semi-urban and rural areas, as the government expands internet infrastructure. Many online shopping websites have emerged in Bangladesh catering to customers' needs for convenience, competitive pricing, product selection, and payment flexibility.

3.  E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of products or services
over electronics system through internet or others computer networks.
 The Bangladesh Governments’ initiative to provide a solid Internet
backbone. With recent growth of Internet usage, 3G roll-out in 2013,
4g roll out in 2017 and the vigorous marketing and sales of smart
phones, e-commerce usage continues at a rapid pace.
 However, with the numerous barriers to urban life in Dhaka city,
citizens have increasingly resorted to online shopping, with an
increasing supply of virtual businesses to match.

4.  Interestingly, these trends are not limited only to Dhaka, the capital
city, but semi-urban, and to an extent, rural areas as well. The
Bangladesh Governments’ initiative to provide a solid Internet
backbone, encouraging a well-grounded telecommunication sector,
connecting all government offices, and opening up IT Parks are all
leading indicators that point to the e-commerce sector’s growth
potential.
 Inspired by convenience, competitive pricing, range of products,
dedicated service, improving payment security and flexibility and
demand from buyers and sellers, e-commerce has witnessed a
mushrooming of the online shopping websites, particularly in the B2C
and C2C category.
