eShopWorld, a cross-border commerce companies, announced that global apparel and footwear e-commerce sales made through the eShopWorld platform rose by 121% and 122%, respectively, from June 1 through June 15. The company also identified the top countries where its U.S. partners are finding new revenue growth as the global coronavirus pandemic continues.
Year-over-year in May, U.S. brands using eShopWorld’s platform to sell cross-border saw the highest volume growth in Malaysia (up 359%), Singapore (up 284%) and Chile (up 237%). For the June 1–15 period, the top three markets were Chile (up 379%), Mexico (up 204%) and the Russian Federation (up 159%).
“Our data shows that brands that have been able to pivot away from physical stores and double down on digital channels to find significant growth amid the COVID-19 outbreak,” said Tommy Kelly, CEO of eShopWorld. “In June so far, cross-border apparel and footwear sales have seen significant growth, and our May overall sales volumes were above those seen during the peak pre-holiday Black Friday period. We expect this strong growth to continue as consumers around the world keep shopping from home due to concerns about the ongoing pandemic.”
U.S. brands are seeking alternative avenues to growth as physical stores remain shuttered in some markets and as consumer worries about health and safety affect foot traffic in those markets that have already reopened. The company has seen its strong volume growth in early 2020 accelerate due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
