Online retail sales hit $250 billion, about 11.4% of total retail sales in China. The number of online shoppers rose 19.1% to 417 million. Cross-border e-commerce is the hotpot in the industry. Crossborder e-commerce is a direct business to consumer sale from overseas at reduced duties, without Chinese-language labels, and with reduced inspection requirements. As such, cross-border ecommerce has offered new-to-market companies a relatively easy entry to the Chinese market. In 2014, the total cross-border e-commerce transactions were $60 million, an increase of one-third over 2013. The increase in 2015 is expected to be higher yet.
