E-commerce Into China Seminar The increasing opportunities to sell on line for Victorian companies are enormous. The growth of China has been well documented with millions of Chinese consumers not just moving into the middle class but also embracing online retail to a degree not seen in other countries. China’s annual online-retail sales passed those of the United States in 2013. By 2018, they are estimated to reach about $610 billion—likely passing Europe and the United States combined. This seminar will provide Victorian companies with an understanding of the Chinese economy and outline a range of opportunities in the market.
