Why does EMI work for electronics but fail for fashion/furniture in Indian e-commerce?
In my analysis on e-commerce EMI in India, I've noticed that electronics and appliances see high penetration of EMI, whereas categories such as fashion, furniture, and personal care continue to lag despite comparable ticket sizes.
Is it due to the reason that:
Consumers do not consider EMI when it comes to "lifestyle" purchases?
Checkout experience does not promote EMI until it's too late?
Credit availability (i.e. credit cards) is the real issue?
Or something else altogether?
For consumers living in Tier 2 & 3 cities – What prevents you from availing EMI on non-electronics purchases?
