Driver: Rise in the Use of Internet for Auction

The advent of internet has created a huge impact on the overall widespread of auction across the world. With the internet, people could place bids anytime from anywhere, on any device. The growth in the online auction market is primarily driven by the advancements in technology like high-speed internet connection and secured payment options, and growing smartphone penetration. With online auctions, there is no need to attend the auction events, which are organized offline. Here, auctioneers generally incur less property or transportation costs, as well as avoid the need to provide for additional security and porters for in-room bidders and telecommunication support for phone bidders. Thus, the rise in the use of internet for auction would drive the growth of the online auction market in the coming years.

Challenge: Security Concerns

Security and safety is an important topic in conducting business on the internet; online auctions are no exception. During the auction, buyers and sellers have to submit their personal information to the system, as well as provide electronic payment for their goods. Thousands of credit card numbers, home addresses, and phone numbers were exposed for months through a security hole on many internet auction sites. Furthermore, most online auctions do not enforce strong authentication, relying instead on a user ID and password, or may be an email account, to establish the validity of a client. Once this minimal information is supplied, people are free to enter into the online auction system and participate in bidding. Therefore, the security concerns would negatively impact the growth of the online auction market.

Trend: Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is used in online auctions to do various activities including processing customer-service inquiries, product packaging, internal operations, as well as delivery. Specialized functions such as fraud prevention, anti-money laundering, and pricing are set to be overhauled using the artificial intelligence in the auction industry. Meanwhile, the data collection opportunities AI provides would help companies achieve automation and enhanced personalization. The use of AI provides massive opportunities to the entire auction process, which can empower the auctioneers to make smarter decisions. Hence, integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) would assist the online auction market in coming years.
