ASIA-PACIFIC CROSS-BORDER B2C E-COMMERCE 2018
ONE IN TWO DIGITAL BUYERS IN ASIA MAKE PURCHASES CROSS-BORDER
More than 50% of online shoppers in Asia made cross-border purchases, according
to a recent survey cited by yStats.com. The top two markets by cross-border digital buyer
penetration in this region are Hong Kong and Singapore. The tendency to buy from foreign
online sellers also prevails in Australia and New Zealand, where a double-digit share of
digital spending is cross-border. Japan is a laggard in the cross-border online shopping
trend, with over nine in ten digital consumers buying online only domestically.
The top three destinations of cross-border online shoppers in Asia-Pacific are China,
the USA and Japan. In their turn, Chinese online shoppers give preference to cross-border
shopping platforms hosted by local providers, such as Tmall Global, Kaola and JD Global.
The yStats.com report also reveals that clothes and accessories was the most demanded
product category in Asia-Pacific’s cross-border E-Commerce. In South Korea, this sector
accounted for more than one-third of E-Commerce purchases from foreign sellers.
A distinguishing characteristic of cross-border online shoppers in Asia-Pacific is the
high level of mobile usage. Digital buyers in China and India were more likely to place orders
on foreign websites through smartphones and tablets than through a desktop computer,
according to a 2018 survey cited in the yStats.com report.

GENERAL METHODOLOGY OF OUR MARKET REPORTS Secondary Market Research
The reports are compiled based on secondary market research.
Secondary research is information gathered from previously published
sources. Our reports are solely based on information and data acquired
from national and international statistical offices, industry and trade
associations, business reports, business and company databases,
journals, company registries, news portals and many other reliable
sources. By using various sources we ensure maximum objectivity for all
obtained data. As a result, companies gain a precise and unbiased
impression of the market situation.
Cross referencing of data is conducted in order to ensure
validity and reliability.
The source of information and its release date are provided on
every chart. It is possible that the information contained in one chart is
derived from several sources. If this is the case, all sources are mentioned
on the chart.
The reports include mainly data from the last 12 months prior
to the date of report publication. Exact publication dates are mentioned in
every chart.
Definitions
The reports take into account a broad definition of B2C E-
Commerce, which might include mobile commerce. As definitions may
vary among sources, exact definition used by the source (if available) is
included at the bottom of the chart.
Chart Types
Our reports include text charts, pie charts, bar charts, rankings,
line graphs and tables. Every chart contains an Action Title, which
summarizes the main idea/finding of the chart and a Subtitle, which
provides necessary information about the country, the topic, units or
measures of currency, and the applicable time period(s) to which the data
refers. With respect to rankings, it is possible that the summation of all
categories amounts to more than 100%. In this case, multiple answers were
possible, which is noted at the bottom of the chart.
Report Structure
Reports are comprised of the following elements, in the following
order: Cover page, preface, legal notice, methodology, definitions, table of
contents, management summary (summarizing main information
contained in each section of report) and report content (divided into
sections and chapters). When available, we also include forecasts in our
report content. These forecasts are not our own; they are published by
reliable sources. Within Global and Regional reports, we include all major
developed and emerging markets, ranked in order of importance by using
evaluative criteria such as sales figures.
Notes and Currency Values
If available, additional information about the data collection, for
example the time of survey and number of people surveyed, is provided in
the form of a note. In some cases, the note (also) contains additional
information needed to fully understand the contents of the respective data.
When providing information about amounts of money, local
currencies are most often used. When referencing currency values in the
Action Title, the EUR values are also provided in brackets. The conversions
are always made using the average currency exchange rate for the
respective time period. Should the currency figure be in the future, the
average exchange rate of the past 12 months is used.
