The eCommerce market has evolved from a simple counterpart of brick-and-mortar retail to a shopping ecosystem that involves multiple devices and store concepts. Now, when looking at the eCommerce landscape, we see a relatively mature market with established players and a clear set of rules. But this impression can be misleading – the digital transformation is not over yet and is unlikely to ever come to a halt, driven by the flow of innovation coming from numerous start-ups and a growing cashflow from fast-developing Asian economies. In spite of a slowing Chinese economy, a shift in purchasing power from the U.S. and Europe to China and Southeast Asia has begun, fueled by the growing number of consumers gaining access to eCommerce due to growing purchasing power and internet penetration, especially on mobile devices.

Comparing the three major eCommerce markets – the U.S., China, and Europe – China was the biggest market in 2023 and will stay in the lead through 2027. The Chinese market is worth US$1,318.7 billion in 2023, with Electronics being the biggest market. Revenues are expected to grow at a CAGR(1) of 12.2% up to 2027, resulting in revenues of US$2,088.2 billion.
