How Is The Philippines E-Commerce Logistics Market Positioned?
The Philippines offers tremendous potential for e-commerce and omnichannel merchants, boasting one of the fastest-growing consumer markets in all of Asia and one of the world’s highest internet usage rates. According to an analysis, the combination of rapid urbanization and an emerging market of young shoppers (the country’s average age is 25.7 years) points to long-term economic growth and increased consumption. The Philippines’ shift towards e-commerce is boosted by certain factors including the growing middle class, growing government support, and convenience of a digitalized shopping experience. The Philippines also has the second-largest average online shopping basket size in Southeast Asia, which only goes to show how eager local consumers are to find and buy products online.
Moreover, the opportunity here for online sellers is quite clear: they can stand out in this market by offering products Filipino consumers don’t have access to locally. One of the reasons behind the relatively slow uptake of e-commerce in the country in the past few years is the continued dominance of cash-based transactions. According to the Philippines’ central bank, cash accounted for 99% of all local transactions as of January 2018. In addition, with the Philippines being an archipelago of more than 7,600 islands, logistics naturally presents a challenge you will have to prepare for when serving customers in this country. Consumers living in the sprawling capital of Metro Manila enjoy access to huge shopping malls, flagship brick-and-mortar stores, and even quick delivery from large marketplaces like Lazada and Shopee. Moreover, the Philippines has one of the slowest and most expensive internet connections in Southeast Asia. 87% of Filipino merchants sell products on social media. Facebook also drives traffic and engagement on Lazada, Shopee, and Zalora.
