In addition to revenue figures, market shares and customers, the report also covers general online use, the latest trends and major competitors.

Credit card payment enjoys wide-spread popularity in South Korean B2C E-Commerce

South Koreans seem to be very open toward new technologies. As a result, B2C E-Commerce is very well established. Revenue in this area is expected to generate more than USD 20 billion by 2015. Credit card payments are very popular in this segment. More than 70 % of the total online trade volume is processed using this payment method. In addition to general revenue figures, the yStats.com "South Korea B2C E-Commerce Report 2011" also shows the most popular product categories in terms of market volume in 2010.
