A 2020 survey investigated the intention of UK e-commerce companies to adopt software technologies. As of March 2020, the most already-adopted solution was headless e-commerce (29 percent), which allows retailers to reach out to customers through SMS, mobile applications, and voice assistants.
About one in four of the UK e-commerce businesses surveyed used API-first technologies, and the same percentage planned to do the same over the following six months. API-first e-commerce platforms enable a more customized user experience, particularly on mobile devices, besides making app development much easier.
