Since then, e-commerce giants such as E-Bay, Amazon and Apple have dominated and defined the industry, but retailers and service providers of every stripe now do much of their business over the Internet. E-commerce also has created new opportunities for individuals and smaller niche businesses to gain market penetration for their products and services.
