Online sales of apparel and accessories are now growing at a rapid pace as compared to any other ecommerce product segment.

Together, China and the US accounted for more than 55% of global e-commerce sales in 2014. China's growth during the next five years will widen the gap between the two countries.

Amazon despite of being the leading player in United States e-commerce market controls around 18% share, while in the Chinese e-commerce market, Alibaba is the biggest player controlling around 80% market share alone. Alibaba’s e-commerce sales are higher than the combined sales of eBay and Amazon. In India Flipkart, Amazon and Snapdeal are the leading players in e-commerce landscape.

The biggest challenge faced by the e-commerce market is the logistics. The shortage of high-quality logistics providers results in: lost parcels, damaged goods, lost deliveries, poor reverse logistics and no special services. The online payment method is also a point of concern for many buyers as they are afraid of sharing personal and card information due to security thefts.
