The shop was divided into four departments, selling fur and fans, fabric for dresses, haberdashery, jewelry and clocks, perfume, and millinery

THE CHINA E-COMMERCE MARKET IS THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD
With a volume of $1.94 in 2019, which is a 27% year over year increase and a quarter of China’s total retail sales volume. As such, China’s e-commerce sector is more than three times the size of the US market. E-commerce is currently booming in Asia with China being at the forefront of digital commerce and the market dominated by the Alibaba Group and its online subsidiaries, which represent a big part of Alibaba Group’s revenue.
IN 2019, U.S. ONLINE RETAIL SALES OF PHYSICAL GOODS AMOUNTED TO $343 BILLION
The US is projected to reach close to $476 billion by 2024. The USA was initially leading the global market until China entered the game. Today, the USA comes in mostly due to giant marketplaces like Amazon and eBay. Apparel and accessories retail e-commerce in the U.S. is projected to generate $153 billion by 2024.
THE UK MAKES UP FOR $99 BILLION IN TOTAL RETAIL SALES
This makes up 14.5% of the market and considering this is a smaller nation, this is an impressive number. Amazon.co.uk dominates this number, followed by Argos and Play.com (part of Rakuten).
JAPAN’S ANNUAL ONLINE SALES REPRESENTED $79 BILLION
The country is leading the M-Commerce (mobile shopping) market in the world with the popularity of Rakuten. Japan has continuously ranked among the top five of the world’s largest e-commerce markets. Not only that, but its e-commerce market is among the fastest-growing globally, boosted by a very developed economy, highly urbanized population, high internet penetration, and single-language culture.
GERMANY GENERATED $73 BILLION IN E-COMMERCE IN 2017
This represents 8.4% of the total retail sales. Not surprisingly, Amazon recommends a big part of the market, followed by eBay and Otto which has 9 million active customers and 1.9 million visits to the site each day.
IN 2019, AN ESTIMATED 1.92 BILLION PEOPLE PURCHASED GOODS OR SERVICES ONLINE
