Global e-commerce sales rise over 120 percent for apparel and footwear

As shoppers are eager to get shopping again, but are still reluctant to set foot in stores, there is hope for e-commerce finally making up for the lost ground of brick-and-mortar. According to sales on eShopWorld's platform, apparel and footwear rose more than 120 percent in early June. In addition, U.S. brands using eShopWorld to sell cross-border saw the highest volume growth during the month of May in Malaysia, which was up 359 percent, Singapore, which was up 284 percent, and Chile, which was up 237 percent. The top three markets for the June 1 to 15 period were Chile, which was up 379 percent, Mexico, which was up 204 percent, and Russia, which was up 159 percent.
