The latest report looks at growing market trends and empowers businesses to utilise consumer wants and needs, for example Chinese customers’ willingness to wait longer for less expensive shipping options and the wide range of e-payment options available. Plus, Asendia Hong Kong’s CEO Jerry Leung offers his insights into the future of China’s e-commerce market. Here’s what he has to say:
