Malaysia’s e-commerce on growth estimation

The government is targeting for e-commerce to achieve an annual growth rate of 20%, from a 14.3% growth posted in 2017, via its various initiatives. Deputy International Trade and Industry Minister Dr Ong Kian Ming said e-commerce registered a continuous increase for the period of seven years to RM85.8 billion in 2017.

He said the government, through the National E-commerce Council, will continue to chart the growth and development of e-commerce in the country through the implementation of the National E-commerce Strategic Roadmap.

Malaysia also signed the Asean Agreement on Electronic Commerce on Nov 12, 2018, a concerted effort between 10 countries to smoothen cross border e-commerce transactions by reducing barriers and lowering entry costs.
