As of statistics posted early in 2017, mobile eCommerce has become a trillion dollar industry. More people than ever are now doing their shopping online via mobile devices such as:

  • Smartphone
  • Tablet

Laptops and desktop computer will always have their place for various form of computer activity, but more and more people are finding mobile devices to be the most convenient way to source out products they want to buy (whether locally or overseas), and make purchases.

Handheld tech gadgets have long been the device of choice for accessing social media while out and about or on the fly, and that popularity and instantaneous gratification has now evolved into more and more online purchases being made via mobile device than ever before.

Asia Is Where It's At

Many people in Asian countries love using their smartphones and tablets for accessing the internet. This is largely due to the fact that many people can't afford a desktop or laptop computer, so they rely on things such as smartphones and their phone plan to access social media and make online purchases.

It Doesn't Stop With Asia

This trend has been experiencing a growth spurt the world over and is not limited to the Asian region. These days it really is the "in thing" to do your banking and money transactions via a smartphone and do the bulk of your online shopping from a mobile device.

Absolutely, and it's only going up from here!

Truly exciting for all of us here at WA who are building our businesses.
Thanks

It's not going to stop either, the mobile eCommerce and the online commerce industry is continue to grow YOY at a rapid place.

Malls are shutting down, retailers are moving their focus online, and online merchants and affiliate marketers are reaping the rewards. It is only going to get better and better from here on out!

good post thank you for sharing

Thanks for sharing this info. It certainly is a great opportunity!

These figurres would have been unbelievable just a few years ago, but as you say - they point us to a future driven by eCommerce, so lets get our share eh!

Singing to the choir Darren! I have to make sure all sites are mobile friendly, but this data also indicates that creating an app might be necessary as well? This makes it MORE convenient for them to open the app and order/reorder! Cheers! Dave : )

Absolutely agree. I am currently living in Hong Kong and everyone does everything on their smartphones. Thanks for sharing.

It is very important that our WA provides mobile app for our websites towards encouraging ecommerce.

You don't need a mobile app. You just need to use a theme that is a "responsive" theme, meaning it will orientate itself well for mobile devices.

The post is highly motivating and makes sense. Internet business is the way to go. I'm convinced of it as are you. Have a good one.

Cheers Pablo.
