“Growing digital penetration and technological innovation in the country have driven the growth of E-commerce market in Taiwan”
Improved E-Commerce Legislation: It has been observed that the Taiwanese government has improved legal structure regarding the E-commerce industry with the emergence of several laws and acts guiding the market and facilitating its growth. For instance, the Electronics Signatures Act passed in 2001, the Consumers Protection Act passed in 2005 and the implementation of an Act governing the Electronic Payment Institutions in 2015. These acts aimed at managing the risks involved in the transactions that take place in online buying and selling. Additional amendments were made, as of 1st July 2017 for the consumers which included that those consumers who have imported products for more than twice a month or six times in six months would be required to pay a new tariff. These changes have driven the E-commerce industry in Taiwan.
Increasing Cross Borders E-Commerce: It was observed that the cross-border e-commerce grew by 5.4% in the online retail market for the year 2017 as compared to the year 2016. The cross border online spending was valued at TWD 16,378 per person for the year 2017. Majority of the cross border online sales in Taiwan take place with China, accounting for 69.5% of the trade as of 2017. The major commodities traded across borders include apparel, accessories, computer and electronic products, books, cosmetics, and other basic necessities. This is a positive indicator of the online retail brand in Taiwan.
Greater Independent Travel: There has been an increase in the use of international travel brands and online platforms amongst Taiwanese travelers, not only for short trips to familiar destinations such as Japan but also for venturing further afield. Greater independent travel has led many people to use these channels to research and book trips. Increased usage has helped to grow the confidence and acceptance of Taiwanese consumers in multinational operators to book lodging and transport. Language and service have therefore proven to be an advantage for local travel agencies, which despite offering a smaller portfolio of accommodation options may be perceived to be better suited to deal with local needs in the eyes of some customers.
