An iResearch report published earlier this year showed that in 2011, the total number of online shoppers in China stood at 187 million, representing an increase of 39 million year-on-year. The number also represents 36.5 percent of China's total Internet users for last year.

China's e-commerce market turnover in the first half of 2012 jumped 18.6 percent from a year earlier to 3.5 trillion yuan, according to statistics released last week by China e-Commerce Research Center.

China aims to quadruple its annual e-commerce volume from 2010 levels to 18 trillion yuan by 2015 on the back of growing domestic demand and consumption.

Direct employment in China's e-commerce topped 1.90 million people as of June 2012, and the number is expected to reach 2.65 million by the end of this year.
