female, younger than 30 and with an income of more than RMB 11,000 per month (A$2,150 a month or A$25,800 a year). Frequently cited reasons for shopping online include: • Accessibility: online shopping is available anywhere, any time. • Convenience: most major sites offer free delivery, which helps to avoid crowded traffic and public transport. • Low prices: online prices are typically 10-20 per cent lower than in-store, with sales events like Singles’ Day offering even bigger savings. • Greater choice: a typical Chinese supermarket carries upwards of 15,000 stock keeping units (SKUs), whereas online supermarket Yihaodian stocked up to eight million SKUs by the end of 2014. • Detailed product information: online stores are rich in the type of details sought by consumers, such as country of origin, production method and customer reviews. • Confidence: consumers place higher levels of trust in the authenticity of purchases made on major B2C platforms such as Tmall, JD.com and Yihaodian. Given these factors, it is of little surprise that Chinese users are some of the most regular online shoppers in the world. A global online commerce survey conducted by PwC

Nielsen research estimated Chinese online shoppers would spend RMB 100 billion (approximately US$16.3 billion) in 2014 on imported products. Apparel, accessories and handbags are the most popular imported items sold in China, followed by cosmetics and personal care products, and mother-andbaby products. In 2014, Austrade analysed the average daily frequency of Taobao shopper keyword searches performed over three months for 25 types of product which could be supplied by Australian companies. The most sought-after categories were packaged snacks, children’s toys, beer and honey. The figures also revealed significant buyer interest in furniture and home improvement products - categories where Australian products are under-represented in China. In November 2014, Ben Sun of ThinkChina, a Sydney-based e-commerce data analytics company, studied the product categories of Tmall and Taobao searches where the keyword ‘Australia’ was part of the search terms. The results in Figure 4 show that skincare, food and wine, and milk powder were the Australian products most sought after by China’s online shoppers.
