Title: <\/span><\/b>Comparative Analysis of E-commerce Applications<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Introduction:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

E-commerce applications have become an integral part of modern consumer behaviour in India. These platforms provide convenience, variety, and competitive pricing, making online shopping more accessible. Popular apps like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, and Meesho cater to different customer needs such as fashion, electronics, and budget shopping. Each platform offers unique features, discounts, and delivery services. This study focuses on understanding user preferences and satisfaction levels across different e-commerce applications.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Objective:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

1. Consumer Behaviour in Online Shopping<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

A study on online shopping behaviour found that convenience, price comparison, and trust are the major factors influencing customer preferences. Platforms that provide better services and user-friendly interfaces tend to have higher customer satisfaction (Katawetawaraks & Wang, 2011).<\/p>\n

\u00a02. Impact of Online Reviews on Consumer Choice<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Research shows that online ratings and reviews play a crucial role in influencing purchase decisions. Positive experiences increase trust and usage of platforms, while negative reviews reduce customer engagement (Chevalier & Mayzlin, 2006).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Data collection:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

A survey was conducted using Google Forms to collect responses from students. Participants were asked to rate the following e-commerce apps on a scale of 1 to 10: \u00a0<\/span>Myntra, Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho. The collected data was analyzed using One-Way ANOVA.<\/p>\n

The collected data were analyzed using single-factor ANOVA to determine whether there were significant differences among the average ratings of the four e-commerce applications. The mean ratings were 6.86 for Myntra, 8.65 for Amazon, 7.72 for Flipkart, and 5.76 for Meesho, with variances ranging from 3.09 to 6.76. The ANOVA results showed an F-value of 9.69, which is greater than the critical F-value of 2.69, and a P-value of 0.00001, which is much lower than the significance level of 0.05. These results indicate that the differences between the app ratings are statistically significant.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Based on the ANOVA results, it is concluded that there is a significant difference in the ratings of the four e-commerce applications. Amazon has the highest average rating, indicating it is the most preferred platform among users. Flipkart and Myntra show moderate performance, while Meesho has the lowest rating. The p-value being less than 0.05 confirms that the difference is statistically significant. Therefore, all e-commerce apps are not equally preferred by users.<\/p>\n
