In 2021, the number of mobile devices operating worldwide was almost 15 billion. The increasing use of smartphones and other mobile devices has encouraged m-commerce activity. We explain how it works and its differences with e-commerce.

What is m-commerce?
Mobile commerce sales reached 3.56 billion dollars at the end of 2021. This industry is a technological trend of 2022. Therefore, it is logical that society has its eyes on it.

In short, m-commerce is nothing more than the practice of electronic commerce from the mobile phone. This is carried out through a browser or an application. And it includes actions that go beyond the purchase, such as:

Online transactions
Online banking
Access to discounts and exclusive offers
Redemption of reward points

As a tool, m-commerce finds acceptance in several industries, but it’s the favorite in sectors such as:

Sale of tickets for events
Health care applications
Fintech sector
Gambling and games of chance
Retail sales
Banking sector in general
