China’s online shopping binge predicts to smash over 30 bln USD
BEIJING, Nov. 10, 2018 (BSS/Xinhua) – Sales of China’s biggest online
shopping festival is projected to hit over 32 billion U.S. dollars this year,
according to a report released by the global app market data provider App
Annie.
App Annie also forecasted that the shopping frenzy will break the world
record in mobile e-commerce sales.
Last year, Alibaba Group, China’s e-commerce giant, spread the shopping
festival to the Western market, with downloads of its app AliExpress surging
in the United States and Britain.
The shopping spree, also known as Singles’ Day or Double 11, falls on Nov.
11 every year and sales in 2017 hit 168.2 billion yuan in 24 hours on Tmall
Global Shopping Festival.
