China has been the pioneer of mobile commerce over the years. Since China has nearly 1.3 billion mobile users, the shift from desktop to mobile devices on eCommerce sales has been clear.

According to a recent research, almost two-thirds of retail and consumer-to-consumer (C2C) eCommerce sales in China in Q4 2015 occurred via mobile. That was up from 55.5% the previous quarter—the first time mobile accounted for a majority of ecommerce sales in the country.

2015 may have been a turning point, but the rise of mobile has been ongoing since early 2013, when 9.0% of retail and C2C eCommerce sales occurred via mobile devices.

Expert estimates that mobile commerce sales were just shy of the 50% mark as a share of ecommerce sales for the full year last year.

How about 2016? According to the forecast, retail mobile commerce sales in China will grow by 51.4%, to reach 55.5% of retail ecommerce sales in the country this year. That will still amount to just 10.9% of total retail sales, however.

By 2019, the end of our forecast period, mobile users in China will spend nearly $1.5 trillion on mobile commerce, which will amount to nearly a quarter of the country’s retail market.
