According to latest reports, China is leading the cross-border e-commerce logistics market, with 35% of respondents globally having purchased from there. The United States comes in second with 14%, followed by Germany and the United Kingdom with 12% and 8%, respectively, forming the ‘Big 4’ e-commerce markets. According to data studies in e-commerce logistics, Amazon is the world’s largest e-retailer, accounting for 26% of current cross-border sales.
