The report titled 'China B2C E-Commerce Market 2017' published by yStats.com says that around two -thirds of the internet users in urban China already shop online, the share is higher in the top cities. With the online share of total retail sales in the country already in the double-digits, the internet retail market in China is showing distinct signs of maturity. Among them are the growing contribution of the B2C segment and the retreating C2C share of total retail e-commerce sales.
More e-commerce growth is expected by 2020 due to increasing internet and online shopper penetration rates, growing frequency of online purchases by urban consumers and, most of all, from the surge of online retail sales in rural China. According to official statistics referenced in this report, online retail sales in China’s rural areas more than doubled between 2015 and 2016. (RR)
