The rapid development of information technology – including the Internet, big data analytics and cloud computing – has dramatically transformed Chinese consumption habits. Government support and an influx of capital have sparked a consumption revolution in the digital retail sector, slashing operating costs and optimizing people’s shopping experience. This revolution includes a deepening integration of online and offline services, and upgraded production, logistics and sales using technologies like big data analytics and artificial intelligence.
