Asia: E-commerce is booming

Asia: E-commerce is booming | Everyone may know e-commerce is booming, but which region is leading the race?

Global retail e-commerce sales reached an all-time high of 16.4% in 2021 as countries were on lockdown and stores were forced to close their doors, according to data from McKinsey & Co.

Sales in retail e-commerce in 2021 were around $4.9 trillion in 2021, and this figure is projected to increase by 50% over the next five years to reach approximately $7.4 trillion by 2025.

E-commerce growth in Southeast Asia stands out more than in any other region in the world. The region is expected to experience a 20.6% expansion in 2022, with sales reaching $89.67 billion from $74.36 billion in 2021. E-commerce in the region is expected to pass $100 billion by 2023.
