Walmart Embraces Amazon MCF: A New Era of Cross-Platform Fulfillment for eCommerce
Regardless of the ongoing disruptions in the last couple of years, China continues to ride a surge in eCommerce demand. The revenue share of the Chinese eCommerce market is projected to reach US$1,535,304m in 2022.
Moreover, with an annual growth rate of 5.02%, this revenue share can result in a projected market volume of US$1,778,222m by 2025. While the number of eCommerce users is expected to amount to 1,230.4m users by 2025, China proves to be an important market that plays a crucial role in balancing U.S. imports and exports. If you are a dropshipper or happen to ship your products from the Chinese market, you must prepare your eCommerce (/dropshipping) store for the upcoming Chinese New Year.
The Year of the Tiger starts on February 1, 2022, also referred to as the Spring festival or Lunar New Year. You will be glad to know that this is celebrated throughout much of Asia, and more than 20% of the world population celebrates this festival. With over 500 million workers travelling across the country to visit their hometowns, it is also known as the “world’s largest human migration. The Chinese New Year not only points towards people in China going on holiday, but it also redirects you to plan early to avoid delays that could affect your yearly sales.
It is said that the Chinese New Year may further disturb the global supply chain as shippers and warehouses in China suspend services for the holidays earlier than usual. With a public holiday running from January 31 to February 6, factories, shipping, and shops shutdown which means:
