TechNavio’s analysts forecast the E-commerce market in China to grow at a CAGR of 39.5 percent over the period 2011–2015. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increasing number of internet users. The E-commerce market in China has also been witnessing high security for online transactions.
