DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Kazakhstan B2C E-Commerce and Payment Market 2020 & COVID-19's Impact" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Online retail surged at the onset of a pandemic, then sputtered
As COVID-19 spread in mid-March in Kazakhstan and citizens were confined to home, they turned to online shopping, a practice that had been slowly gaining traction in the Central Asian nation. However, as the economic impact of the shutdown increased and unemployment grew, the online shopping trend slowed, with more online shoppers responding that they shopped less in a survey cited in the report.
Clothing and food maintain a lead of products purchased online during the health crisis
In 2019, Kazakhstan consumers ordered clothing and sporting goods more than any other product category, followed by household appliances. The same category mix has persisted during the pandemic, except computers and mobile phones have moved ahead of appliances in the ranking, as workers attempt to establish home offices. The report also points to food delivery as a growing service category during the health crisis.
A local marketplace is the most popular destination for online shopping
A local website, Kaspi.kz is the leading destination for online shopping in Kazakhstan. That company's website more than doubled the number of orders during the first few months of 2020, compared to 2019. Websites outside Kazakhstan are also popular with online shoppers, as about two-fifths of orders are going cross-border, particularly in neighboring Russia and China, according to the publication.
While cash on delivery has been the leading method of payment for goods ordered online, by the end of 2019 credit or debit card payment equaled COD, and the coronavirus pandemic pushing the movement to cashless payments online goods and services in the first half of this year.
