How Chinese Online Retail is driving more consumption,without affecting offline retail Sales


China's e-tail revolution | McKinsey & Company: China have become the world's largest online retail market in 2013, and has marched ahead of the US. Chinese Online shopper numbers reached 302 million, and the online retail transaction volume in 2013 exceeded 1.85 trillion yuan, equivalent to 7.8% of total retail sales
Astoundingly around 90% of Chinese electronic retailing occurs on virtual marketplace and online market and e-commerce platforms where manufacturers, large and small retailers, and individuals offer products and services to consumers through online storefronts similar to eBay or Amazon, Ther are the the Local Chinese Giants include PaiPai, Taobao, and Tmall, which in turn are owned by bigger e-commerce groups. A large and growing network of third-party service providers offers sellers marketing and site-design services, payment fulfillment, delivery and logistics, customer service, and IT support."
One of the most interesting insights on the Chinese Online Retail Revolution is that " online retail is not substituting or affecting offline sales , however they are spurring more consumption that is spurring more consumption across both the lower and middle classs

The research suggests E-tailing in China as the research indicates, is not simply a replacement channel for purchases that otherwise would have taken place offline. Instead, it appears to be spurring incremental consumption, particularly in less developed regions
