BEIJING, November 20, 2018 - China is leading the global evolution to eCommerce and, in the next four years, it will continue to remain the largest eCommerce market in the world. China will also take a great leap towards mobile commerce by 2022, a global trend many other markets are following. These are some findings from the new report by Worldpay, Inc. (NYSE: WP; LSE: WPY), a global leader in payments.
In the new report, Worldpay finds that, the largest eCommerce markets in next four years, by size, will be China (US$1.78tn), U.S. (US$1.15tn) and the UK (US$0.314tn). Chinese merchants wishing to expand internationally should consider entering those eCommerce markets with the fastest annual compound growth rates, such as India (21 percent), Malaysia (21 percent), Turkey (19 percent) or the Philippines (19 percent).
An unstoppable and exciting trend across the globe, is that mobile commerce is expected to boom. By 2022, the largest three mCommerce markets in the world are forecast also to be China (US$1.18tn), U.S. (US$0.36tn), and the UK (US$0.115tn). In China, mobile is now the fastest growing channel, predicted to see a compound annual growth rate of 12 percent over the next four years. In comparison, desktop shopping in China will grow at just four percent per annum over the same period.
This strong mobile momentum in the China market is definitely not alone. Over the next four years, mobile commerce is on track to overtake desktop sales for consumers in Australia, Hong Kong, India, Mexico and Singapore, strong proof that mobile commerce is the next lucrative channel for global merchants.
Philip Shi, Country Manager for China at Worldpay, said: “Merchants can feel optimistic about a growing eCommerce market both in China and globally in the years to come. China’s growth is a boundless opportunity and the percentage of payments made via eWallets is staggering. Even the most mature online economies pale in comparison. While on a global scale, mobile commerce has become the new battlefield for merchants to compete for sales opportunities.”
Philip Shi added, “From new forms of credit allowing consumers to “buy-now-pay-later”, to paying more for same-day delivery, and purchasing within “super apps” – the very technological transformations that have made global communication possible, endemic, and constant, are now shaping consumers’ appetite for instant commerce. While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, China is leading a trend we’re observing across the globe – the rise of mCommerce and alterative payments like eWallets, both in-store and online. Now it is more important than ever for merchants to tailor payment methods to match local preferences, and provide a consistent retail experience that is seamless and secure across mobile, desktop and in-store.”
Worldpay has published guidance to help merchants capitalise on emerging mCommerce and cashless opportunities:
