E–Commerce Boom Triggers Transformation in Retail Logistics - M2M Series
The rapid emergence of e-commerce has captured the attention of the world. Everyone, from commercial real estate players to retailers and shopping mall operators to logistics and transportation companies, is wondering how it will impact their business. Nowhere has e-commerce developed more quickly or gathered more momentum than in China, where the world's largest Internet-connected population is increasingly shopping online. The nation soon will surpass the US as the world's largest online retail market, and by 2020 the value of goods and services purchased online by Chinese consumers is likely to surpass US $1 trillion.
Jones Lang LaSalle's latest whitepaper, "E-commerce in China: Online is the New Black", examines the challenges and opportunities the rise of e-commerce brings to the retail and logistics property sectors.
Please join us to hear the major trends found by Jones LaSalle, including:
• The rise of e-commerce will hasten the decline of the mass-market strata-titled shopping mall • Wholly-owned malls can adapt and succeed by reorienting their tenant mix and mall design around entertainment, services and other experience-related offerings • A shift towards more business to consumer (B2C) e-commerce means huge distribution center requirements • Opportunities exist for mutually beneficial partnerships between logistics property developers and large e-commerce firms
