What are the future e-commerce trends for the Asia-Pacific?

Global B2C e-commerce sales will grow by more than 20 percent this year to reach US$1.5 trillion, and surpass US$2.3 trillion by 2017. This projected growth will be driven by five of the largest online retail markets in the Asia-Pacific region – China, Japan, South Korea, India and Australia. It is projected that these countries will see e-commerce sales rise to US$858 billion in 2018 at a compounded annual rate of more than 16 percent.
