Online shopping soars in China
HONG KONG — Chinese consumers shop online more frequently than their counterparts elsewhere, using gadgets such as smartphones and tablets, according to a report released on Tuesday by the consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
The findings, based on a survey of more than 11,000 online shoppers in 11 countries, underline the speed at which China has emerged as one of the world’s most wired retail markets.
Online shopping, nearly non-existent in China as recently as five years ago, has emerged as a major sales channel for retailers, with combined sales of about 1.3 trillion yuan (S$2.6 billion) last year, said Ms Carrie Yu, a China and Asia-Pacific retail and consumer expert at PwC in Hong Kong.
