The global epidemic in 2020 led to difficulties in many industries, but also accelerated the development of e-commerce industry.
According to a report by Australia Post, Australian consumers’ online shopping spending reached a record $50 billion in 2020.
It is understood that about 1.9 million online consumers will be added in Australia in 2020. In the whole year, 9 million Australian families will shop online, and the number of online shopping is far more than twice that in 2019.
The main platforms in Australia are eBay and Amazon.
Recently, Amazon Australia announced that its Australian warehouse xau1 will stop receiving goods after August 26, reminding sellers to prepare in advance.
In Australia, eBay says it is the second, and no one dares to say it is the first. In this magical territory of Australia, even Amazon can only rank the second, which can be called a wonder of the world.
However, Amazon’s Australian site has been catching up since 2017. In just three years, its monthly activity has increased to 25.8 million (accounting for 41% of eBay). This year, Amazon has also opened new warehouses (xau1 / xau2 / MEL5 / PER3).
The epidemic has led to an explosive growth in online shopping in Australia.
The e-commerce market in Australia is dominated by eBay, Amazon, catch and other enterprises.
Since the blockade of the Australian epidemic, there have been one million new Australian users active on eBay, with 12 million monthly visits.
In July this year, two new warehouses MEL1 and PER3 were added to Amazon warehouse in Australia.
There are 21 million Internet users in Australia, with an Internet penetration rate of about 88%, of which smart phone users account for 48%. The global epidemic has changed the way people live, work and shop. This is a good opportunity for domestic sellers.
