Introduction and LandscapeWhy was the report written?"Consumer Attitudes and Online Retail Development in China" is the result of Canadean's extensive market research covering the online retail industry in China. It provides the magnitude, growth, share, and dynamics of the online retail market in China. It is an essential tool for companies active across China's online retail value chain and for new players considering entry into the Chinese online retail market. It provides data for historic and forecast online retail sales, and also includes the business environment and country risk related to the Chinese online retail environment. By examining best practice from leading national large-scale online retailers (but specifically excluding the likes of Amazon whose sites are well-known and vary little by country), as well as reviewing innovative approaches from smaller players, the report provides insights and ideas about how best to approach growing online sales for your business.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
The Chinese online retail landscape is dominated by domestic, pure-play, mass-merchandise online retailers, both in terms of number of players as well as transaction value. Though brick-and-mortal retailers had previously underestimated the rewards the online channel can offer, they now are increasing investments in the online channel.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?Consumers have been reacting to the effects of the global recession, including the following recovery period, on their discretionary spending and retail markets have been no exception. While the country by country market changes have varied, nowhere has been left totally untouched.
