They are fast, secure, browser-agnostic and reliable; and are built in the fraction of what it costs to develop a native mobile application.<\/p>\n<p>We have shared our perspective on PWA \u2013 its benefits and features in one of our previous blogs, <a href=\"https:\/\/synergytop.com\/blog\/progressive-web-apps-deliver-native-app-experience\/\">Progressive Web Apps \u2013 Deliver Native-App Experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog, our focus will be how <strong>PWAs are revolutionizing the E-commerce industry<\/strong>!

The user-generated ad revenue went up by 44% and core engagements by 60%.<\/li>\n<li>Petlove adopted PWA for their site and it resulted in an increase in conversions and time spent on the website by 280% each.<\/li>\n<li>BookMyShow\u2019s PWA led to an increase of 80% in conversion rate.
