Our take
With the rise of ecommerce, the flurry of new startup brands, and the accelerating force of brick-and-mortar store closures, dropshipping has had a real moment in the spotlight over recent years. Its boom was predated by the debut of dropshipping platform Spocket, and the company has profited remarkably off of it. Spocket provides a boost to dropshipping businesses by sourcing reliable EU/US brands, negotiating product discounts, and offering branded invoicing from a single platform.
Whilst the boom of recent years appears to have calmed somewhat, dropshipping remains an appealing way of managing inventory and on-demand shipping for smaller brands. This group has been growing recently, and if the trend continues then Spocket might see a steady stream of customers looking to make savings by streamlining their business.
One hurdle Spocket will have to face, if they’re targeting smaller merchants looking to cut operational costs, is being undercut by competitors. Spocket may need to build out their services to remain competitive in a market that may become further crowded.
