1. PRESS RELEASE
Hamburg, June 11th
, 2018
Over 50% of global online retail sales stems from Asia-Pacific region says
new yStats.com report
A new publication from Hamburg-based secondary market research firm yStats.com, “Asia-Pacific B2C E-Commerce Market
2018,” indicates that over one half of total global online retail sales happens in the Asia-Pacific region. The report covers sales data,
trends, payment preferences of consumers and other pertinent information about eleven economies of the region.
Over 50% of all the online shopping for retail goods and services in the world takes place in the Asia-Pacific region, whose regional
leaders, China, Japan, and South Korea are also among the global leaders in B2C E-Commerce. However, the regional growth leaders for the next
5 years are the markets of South and Southeast Asia, such as India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines, according to sources
cited in the yStats.com report, as they grow from a recent low percentage of online shopping penetration.
A large part of the continuing growth of online retail throughout the Asia-Pacific region is due to the spread of Internet connectivity
through mobile devices, especially smartphones. The yStats.com report says that over three-fourths of E-Commerce in the region is M-Commerce,
and merchant apps account for more than half of purchases made through a mobile device.
Because of the success of E-Commerce in the Asia Pacific region, competition among online merchants is intense. The regional leaders are
China’s Alibaba and JD.com but Amazon is attempting to ride the wave of E-Commerce with expansion in the region. Multiple local and regional
players also work the Asia-Pacific online retail market, as revealed in the yStats.com report.
