Amazon launches new Australian site

"Australia provides vast development opportunities for Chinese sellers. Australia's per capita GDP ranks ninth in the world, which means consumers have strong purchasing power. At the same time, third-party data shows that Australian e-commerce sales account for only 10% of overall retail sales. "As Amazon continues to invest in Australia, there is still huge room for growth in the future," said Amit Mahto, head of seller business for Amazon Australia and Singapore. "Since 2011, Amazon has invested more than 15 billion Australian dollars in various categories in Australia. Continuously improving the retail infrastructure covering key areas such as warehousing and distribution can help sellers achieve sustained performance growth. I am very happy to see that many Chinese sellers have achieved success in Australia, whether it is their innovative products or excellent brand experience. Australian consumers are impressed.”
