 Lockdown did not have any negative impression on the industry of online textiles due to its operation within the virtual world, leaving no place for physical or human contact to spread coronavirus throughout the country.

The industry of online textiles even has seen an increase in sales due to the absence of dependence on the offline sector like wholesalers, semi-wholesalers, wholesaler retailers, middle-persons and so on.

Reasons why online stores are popular

1. Easy and time-saving Shopping

The most convenient part of online shopping is its time-saving aspect, making it perfect for those people who have busy lifestyles. Being busy they can't visit the high street regularly. Instead of spending hours visiting multiple shops, you can easily buy products online by just a couple of clicks.

New changes are always taking place to make online shopping faster and faster. To mention a few of these changes in recent years: quick purchase buttons have been added to allow account holders to buy products with just one click;

Buyers need not fill in their details every time they make an online purchase as there is an automated account details facility. All these changes and up gradation have reduced the total amount of time needed for online purchases to seconds.

In case you need anything urgently you get some options for next day delivery with extra cost. With passing time one thing which is becoming very precious is time. Some people have everything but time with them.

 2. Various Designs and Patterns

When you visit a store no matter how big it is there are some limits to the stock available. This limits the options one gets to choose. The online purchase gives you an unlimited choice of fabrics and patterns. Customers can choose as per their taste and get the product at their doorsteps. You can even compare the prices which is not possible at an offline store.

 3. More brands to choose from

There are many brands which are good but they don't have physical stores, they cannot afford it. People living in small towns get access to products which are available in stores located in big cities only. Every brand cannot have its store in every city or town. Then there are smaller brands that exist online only.

 4. 24/7 shopping

Today most men and women are working. For working people the best part of online shopping is that they can shop 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Earlier one had to wait for the weekend or rush to the shop after work. Now everything is at your fingertips. You can shop in between your work before going to bed anytime anywhere. You can shop in your office dress or night dress. No worries. Life had become easier.

 5. Detailed information

While shopping online you get to know the accurate depiction of the product. This is not possible at stores. For example, if you want to find out more about the ethics of the company in question, you can get all of this information online, an aspect which you would not ordinarily be able to find in stores.

One can always read the online reviews which tell about the quality of the product in question from customers who have already used the products. This can provide good guidance in selecting the purchase. This information is not available in physical stores. You have to solely depend on your own perspective and the sight of the product.

 6. Home delivery

If you purchase items from physical stores or choose to shop in-store you'll need to make a second trip to the particular store to pick up the item when it is in inventory or is delivered to the store you have chosen. Home delivery is one of the most appealing aspects of shopping online. The best part is that you're capable of having your purchases delivered directly to your residence or to a PO Box which is an excellent alternative for those who do not have homes, such as military personnel.

This makes shopping online more convenient since you can easily find the item you are looking for from any place and, with options such as next-day or same-day delivery, get it delivered right to your doorstep. This is particularly beneficial for people who have difficulty walking long distances or have an impairment that stops them from commuting to shops as often as they'd like to.

Many online retailers are now offering free delivery to addresses all over the world which means that you don't have to worry about adding cost to your purchase and also reduce the expense of transporting your goods to a physical place. The home delivery service makes returns simpler than ever before because all you have to do is to request a return to the site. It is picked from your address and the refund is credited to your account. You can also opt for an exchange for different colour or size.

Online retailers are to be the Next Unicorns in new India.

With an ever-growing and growing trend in the online textile sector, companies that are present on the Internet have a great chance to be the Unicorns (a firm valued at more than 1 billion dollars) of the new age of India.

 The lockdown was put in place in the context of the Covid-19 epidemic and during the time of summer, many customers were making their summer purchases online since retail stores were not permitted to open to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. With all of these changes being in place, companies in the online retail sector also experienced an increase in their revenue reports. The online textile industry is one of the reasons that are valid for the birth of new unicorns in India.

During the lockdown, all shopping was carried out via the online method and the majority of the shoppers were satisfied with their online shopping experience. From choosing the products to testing them out, the return policies were an ideal situation for those shopping on the Internet since customers were at ease purchasing items online.

It is predicted by numerous experts in the field of textiles that the trend of growing revenues within the online textile sector will continue in the coming years as well. This means that the arrival of online retailers Unicorns is near.
