E-commerce in China is dominated by marketplaces
In North America and Europe, standalone e-stores (e.g., Nike.com) still make up a significant portion of e-commerce sales. But in China, nearly 90% of online transactions take place on marketplaces such as Tmall and JD. We understand how these platforms operate and how consumers interact on them, enabling our clients to out-perform the tens of thousands of brands they compete with.
Over the past ten years, China's e-tailing industry has posted an average annual growth rate of over 20%.
