Major Milestones for China
“Over the past five years the China internet sector has achieved many significant milestones. In 2013 E-Commerce sales in China reached $296.57 billion surpassing E-Commerce sales in the United States of $262.51 billion for the first time,” said KraneShares. “By the end of 2017, China’s annual E-Commerce sales had nearly quadrupled to $1.14 trillion compared to $453.5 billion in the United States. The current percent of China’s population with internet access is only 52.2% compared to 88.5% in the United States, indicating there is significant room for growth in China’s internet sector.”
