The traditional e-commerce funnel is collapsing

According to McKinsey & Company, over 70% of consumers now expect personalized shopping experiences, while AI-driven personalization can increase revenue by up to 40%.

Meanwhile, reports from Statista show:

• Global e-commerce sales are projected to exceed $8 trillion by 2026
• Mobile and AI-assisted purchases dominate user behavior

• AI suggests → user approves (not searches)
• Subscriptions & auto-replenishment rise
• Checkout becomes invisible
