Lazada: Latest Online Shopping Trends
Hans-Peter Ressel, the CEO of Lazada Malaysia shared with media friends, at the press conference held yesterday at Hubba Menara CIMB, the latest online shopping trends of Lazada:
- Majority of Lazada’s customers are from outside Kuala Lumpur (81%) mainly attributable to the shortage of top brands and malls in rural areas and the difficulties in getting bulky products;
- Customers are slowly moving away from Electronics which was the most sellable category initially at Lazada. Its 2015 sale trends has shown a shift to an increasing volume in fashion, household products, health & beauty products and mobile & tablets.
- Customers are transforming from deal hunters to brand savvy shoppers;
- Surge in its mobile app downloads, 20 million in Q3 of 2015 – shoppers spend more time on the site using mobile apps than desktops;
- Customer demographic shows more than 50% of its customers is aged 30 and above and mostly female shoppers. The shoppers has shifted from tech geeks to family shoppers. It reflected on its Q3 2015 sales trend where baby products such as milk formula and milk bottles have emerged as the best selling category in Malaysia and Singapore.
“in just three years, eCommerce has democratized shopping, cutting across generations, locations and economies. With better mobile access and massive choice of products for every need and budget, online shopping is winning more customers over,” said Hans-Peter.
