Key Trends in Subscription Commerce
1. Diversity in the Branding/Business Models over the years
Subscription Commerce (SubCom) businesses have existed since many years ago in the form of “of-the-month clubs.” But
in the last few years, many startups have built the next-generation versions of the existing SubCom businesses.
• Netflix started with rentals on the basis of subscription.
• Companies like TrunkClub and RocksBox brought in the concept of Try Before You Buy to provide a personalized retail
experience at home.
• Next came companies like BirchBox with the concept of Targeted Marketing that provides the convenience for
consumers to discover new products at low costs.
• Companies like NatureBox are on the path of building their own brand and considering their business as a multichannel
brand with subscription as a way to engage customers.
• The recent wave have been in the Commodity Automation/Replenishment model brought about by companies like
Dollar Shave Club and Harry’s.

2. Disruption of existing market


• Dollar Shave Club disrupted the $13B shaving industry forcing major players like Gillette to start monthly razor
subscription. [1]
• Recipe Boxes are transforming the traditional Grocery-on-subscription market with the concept of pre-measure
ingredients/grocery for curated recipes.

Key Trends in Subscription Commerce
3. Future trends that Subscription Commerce businesses can follow
The Subscription Commerce market is saturated in major categories like beauty, fashion, health, food, etc. This
demands that new entrants will need to give the market a different angle like:
• More personalization for curated goods.
• Marketplaces for All-in-One subscription so that subscribers do not need to subscribe on multiple platforms.
• Introduce subscription-based rentals for high ticket size items.

Also, subscribers have a behavioral tendency to share their “subscription boxes” on social media. Well-crafted social
commerce strategies will help subscription commerce businesses to attract/engage more customers and at the same
time reducing marketing costs.
