Internet retailing continues to be a key and growing channel for retailers, particularly in the face of rising overheads and the labour crunch in many countries in Asia-Pacific. Consumers in this region are also highly wired and attuned to shopping on the Internet; they know that they can get the best bargains, and also brands, which are not available in their country online. These factors have increased the appeal of Internet retail for both retailers and consumers.
