New Infographic Compares Online Purchasing Behaviors Of Chinese And American Consumers

Worthington, OH – 6/24/2014

ProsperChina™ has released the latest Consumer Snapshot Infographic, available in both English and Chinese, to provide global marketers with a better understanding of Chinese Consumers. This unique infographic reveals the top three websites for purchasing products among young Chinese consumers and their American counterparts. It highlights a trend of the frequency in which both consumer groups are buying online, and also compares the two groups’ confidence in the economy, practicality, focus on needs versus wants and budget consciousness. 

According to insights highlighted in the infographic, Taobao.com (a leading C2C online retailer in China) is the favorite website for purchasing products among young Chinese consumers. Taobao surpassed 760 million product listings as of March 2013. Its wide selection is likely one of the reasons consumers shop there most often and has helped drive consumer interest globally. The online shopping portal earns rank among the world’s top 10 most visited websites.

Amazon.com is the website shopped most often among young Americans. It’s likely that customer service plays a role in Amazon’s popularity. The online behemoth recently found itself at the top of the list for Prosper’s Customer Service Champions for 2013. Amazon continues to set the digital standard for retailers with their low prices, reliable and low-threshold free shipping, and quick-response customer service team.
