E-retail sales in China in the firsthalf of 2013 grew 60%, a Chinese ministry reports. Based on statistics for the first half of the year, Chinacould well overtake the United States this year as the world’s largest onlineretail market. Online retail sales in China increased 60.2% in the firstsix months of 2013 to 855.9 billion yuan ($139.62 billion), according toChina’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), which overseesthe country’s high-tech industries. If China’s e-retail sales come in at $280billion for the full year that likely will exceed online purchases by U.S.consumers. U.S. e-commerce totaled $225 billion last year, according to the U.S.Department of Commerce, and the current U.S. e-retail growth rate of 16% would bringthe 2013 total to $261 billion. The MIIT report says the web accounted for 7.7% of retailsales of consumer goods in the first half of the year. Mobile Internet traffic increased 62.6% and sales frommobile devices grew 55.8%, according to the government report. More mobiletraffic and sales can be expected as Chinese consumers purchased 244.4 millionmobile phones in the first half of the year, 91% of them—or 222.4million—smartphones that consumers can use to shop the web, MIIT says. Sales ofsmartphones increased 96.4% in the first half of the year, while sales of personalcomputers grew only 9.1% to 20.5 million, the report says. When including online purchases by businesses,total e-commerce in China amounted to 4.98 trillion yuan ($810 billion) in thefirst six months of 2013, an increase of 45.3% from the same period a year ago. While the Ministry of Industry and Information Technologyreports its e-commerce estimates twice a year, China’s Ministry of Commercemakes its own estimate annually. The Ministry of Commerce reported earlier thisyear that online retail sales in China totaled 1.3 trillion yuan ($209.7billion) in 2012, an increase of 67.5% from 2011 and a growth rate 4.7 timesgreater than that of overall retail sales.
