The e-commerce landscape
------------------------

 E-commerce growth has boosted in recent years. Today, approximately 70% of New Zealand’s population – young and old – buy online. The top products and categories for New Zealand e-commerce buyers include electronics, baby and children’s supplies, entertainment and education, clothing and appliances and furniture.

Opportunities
-------------

 For B2C online purchases, mobile e-commerce now makes up a significant proportion of the New Zealand e-commerce market. Merchants should bear this in mind when setting up their online stores and product listings. Mobile optimisation and a good mobile buying experience should be key to your broader e-commerce strategy.
