China’s Ecommerce market was worth more than the U.S., the U.K., Japan, Germany, and France combined last year. With 800 million consumers shopping online, traditional routes to market for consumer brands in China are changing fast. China’s famous online shopping festival, Single’s Day (11.11), made sales worth £56 billion in a matter of days; where foreign business accounted for over 30,000 of participating brands, 500 of which generated sales of £12 million.
 
With ecommerce more vital now than ever, a digital China strategy is going to be critical for UK brands’ success in the Chinese market moving forward. In support of brands interesting in developing their China ecommerce market this year, CBBC is organizing one on one matchmaking sessions with key ecommerce providers and trade partners.
