The way we shop online is evolving—and the next big leap is voice commerce. With just a simple command, users can search for products, add them to carts, and even complete payments. In countries like the US and UK, voice shopping is already gaining momentum. The question is: can Sri Lanka embrace this trend?
The potential is huge. With increasing smartphone penetration, voice-enabled apps could transform local e-commerce. Imagine saying “Buy a batik dress” or “Order fresh vegetables” and having it delivered. Convenience, speed, and hands-free shopping will redefine customer expectations.
Challenges remain—like natural language understanding in Sinhala and Tamil, security of voice payments, and building consumer trust. But the opportunity is too big to ignore.
At CodeHub.lk, we specialize in e-commerce platforms and digital transformation. While voice commerce is still emerging, we’re constantly researching trends and technologies to ensure Sri Lankan businesses stay ahead of the curve. The future of shopping might just be spoken.
