Power of ebusiness

By 2012, it is projected 1.8 billion people will be using the internet. A further of about 25% increase from current usage (1.46 billion). According to BDA China, a Beijing-based technology consulting and research firm, China now has about 220 million internet users and is the world's largest Internet market. The United States has occupied the number one position since the birth of the internet. China now overtakes US on internet usage the first time and will continue to grow. It is estimated the internet users in China will reach 280 million by the end of 2008, and close to 500 million by 2012. Disregard the low internet penetration of China on its 1.3 billion population, we foresee the number will grow rapidly in the next few years in view of the rapid growth of China in recent years.

Internet will continue to grow in all parts of the world. More and more people will be using the internet and the trend of global online will also be driven by the web-enable mobile devices, which accessing internet is a basic feature of all mobile device. Such trend will also drive more and more people to buy online.
