DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “China B2C E-Commerce Market 2022” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

China accounts for more than half of global online retail and experiences ongoing growth of online and offline integration

The whole of Asia-Pacific, including China, underwent significant changes in the payment industry after the COVID-19 onset in 2020, noting a considerable development in online and mobile payments. China is also currently generating more than one-half of global retail E-Commerce sales of products and services.

Additionally, mobile payments as a payment method in the region were rapidly adopted and are expected to evolve even further in the upcoming years. Furthermore, the size of China’s B2B cross-border E-Commerce market is forecasted to grow by over 160% between 2021 and 2025, whereas the annual growth rate was predicted to decline steadily after hitting a peak in 2022.

Mobile shopping, social and cross-border commerce drive the online retail market in China

Mobile is the main device used in China not only to connect to the Internet, but also to make digital purchases. Therefore, it is not surprising that Livestream E-Commerce emerged as a big evolving trend in China. The amount of Live Commerce users reached 62.4% of the total number of Internet users during 2020 and the number of livestream users increased by approximately 55% from 2018 to 2020, according to a source cited in the report. Furthermore, almost half of the Chinese online shoppers increased their purchasing frequency as of 2020.

Alibaba and JD.com hold a duopoly of Chinese retail E-Commerce market

As of 2021, Alibaba and JD.com are the largest B2C E-Commerce market players in China, with a current joint market share of more than 60%. However, according to a source cited in the publication, Taobao and Pinduoduo were the most popular online marketplaces in China. In Q2 of 2021, Taobao had close to half a billion average monthly visitors, which was the highest marker compared to figures of other B2C E-Commerce sites in the country.
