The Impact of Usability and UX on Consumers of E-Commerce Mobile Applications

Abstract

Driven by the growth of e-commerce and technological and marketing innovations, businesses and consumers alike have embraced e-commerce over traditional commerce. However, the usability and user experience of mobile e-commerce applications have a significant influence on consumer preference. An online survey was used to collect data for this study. Participants volunteered to take part in the study and gave their consent. The data obtained was analyzed using Python programming language to evaluate the applications. Based on the study' s findings, the applications were analyzed in terms of simplicity, technical support requirements, usage frequency, and the most frequently used applications to determine correlations between these factors. Nevertheless, the findings' generalizability is restricted by the fact that the majority of the sample consisted of students aged 19-24, which implies that the results may not be directly applicable to other age groups or the working population. The results of this study may be valuable for the development of e-commerce mobile applications.
