In recent years, the trend of digital transformation of commerce has been extremely dynamic, and the COVID-19 pandemic has generated a strong impetus for the development of digitalization. However, there is a large difference in the use of e-commerce in European Union (EU) countries. The objective of this article is to explain the complex evolution of e-commerce in terms of B2C using econometric methods, especially regarding Internet purchases made by individuals according to six social and technological factors considered basic factors in purchase decisions. Thus, we propose a conceptual model for the analysis of disparities in Internet purchases, taking into account both factors related to demand (consumer) and factors related to supply (supplier). Based on the data provided by Eurostat for all 27 EU countries for the period 2012–2021, the empirical findings of cluster analysis suggest changes in the grouping of countries at the beginning and end of the analysed period. Socioeconomic factors that can explain the transition of EU states from one group to another in terms of development level of Internet purchases by individuals were identified. The results of this study can serve as a starting point for future adaptation strategies of e-commerce in the context of global economic development with a focus on increasing digitisation, the existence of for which a digital convergence in the process of digital transformation is essential.

“…Contributing to this growth, the COVID‐19 pandemic forced brands to redirect their products to e‐commerce channels (Shankar et al, 2021) and consumers to buy from online brands, many for the first time (Tahirov & Glock, 2022). The immense growth in e‐commerce has incentivized brands to increase online marketing, selling, and transacting of goods, services, and information direct‐to‐consumers (DTC; Semerádová & Weinlich, 2022). This rapid transition in online shopping through brands' direct e‐commerce sites, coupled with technological advancements, has created a need to take stock of our understanding of the evolving DTC retail model.…”

The substantial growth of e‐commerce sales, driven by digital advancements, has enticed brands to sell direct‐to‐consumers (DTC) online. Despite the growth of the DTC online retail model in practice, academic literature remains fragmented. This systematic review is timely as it meets the need for a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of DTC over two decades of research to 2023. A SPAR‐4‐SLR protocol combined with a Theory–Context–Methods (TCM) approach examines the extant literature through a marketing lens. An analysis of 81 articles reveals a need for consumer behavior theories to underpin research on the DTC retail model. We conclude the review by identifying areas for further development, such as the need for research on the technology‐driven balance of power between brands, retailers, and consumers. Contextually, the authors highlight research opportunities on SME brands' internationalization and the DTC online luxury experience. Methodological directions include empirical qualitative studies and experiments on the emerging topics of technology‐enabled retail services and the experiential e‐commerce impact on customer experience. These future research undertakings will help us to better understand the DTC retail model.
