According to GlobalData, e-commerce in Thailand is registering a compound annual growth rate of 12.2% between 2016 and 2020 to reach 1.1 trillion baht in 2020.
The report states that a large young population, Internet and smartphone penetration, coupled with growing consumer confidence in online payments drive this growth.
