According to the research results, about 19% of all retail sales occurred in China via the Internet. However, it made only about 6.7% in Japan, for instance.

Keynote: When analyzing the data pay attention to economic advancement and population in different countries instead of blind following the outcome. Spread your business geography and think about creating a new store view in Chinese.

#2 Tendency: Mobile Traffic Growth
There’s no need to say mobile devices now make up more than a half of global web traffic and continue gaining pace. Nevertheless, the majority of customers shopping via mobile devices are still dissatisfied with the performance quality of the process. Some of them find fault with security issues while the others prefer PCs for convenience. In line with the latest research, only 38% mobile shopping sessions out of 59% have made revenue.

Keynote: Merchants should raze out the difference between ‘mobile’ and ‘desktop’ users. You can make shopping experience convenient and secure without intending to be bound by a particular device choice.​
#3 Tendency: Increased Competition
More and more start-ups entering the sphere of online retail while taking seasoned webshops and brick and mortar brands back seat.

If the stats is something to go by, the number of customers shopping online will significantly raise and your task here as a merchant is to preserve a niche you have taken and rise to a new level.​

Keynote: Ramp up brand-new tools and extensions for making your website boast. Only running up-to-date solutions and staying on the same page allow for business advancement.
