Increasing Online Shoppers Coupled with Growing Middle Class

Rising Government Support: Recognizing the importance of e-commerce for the Philippines economy, the country’s Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has developed the Philippines E-Commerce Roadmap 2016-2020. Its primary goal is to get online business activities to account for 25% of the country’s GDP by 2020, up from 10% in 2015. The government is committed to seeing through this roadmap and has made headway especially in the areas of:
• Infrastructure - improving Internet access, eGovernment systems, eBanking, ePayment, tax systems, consumer protection, and logistics
• Investments - supporting and promoting opportunities such as foreign direct investment and capital flows
• Innovation - helping digital startups enter the commercial market

Continued Dominance of Cash-Based Transactions: One of the reasons behind the relatively slow uptake of e-commerce in the country in the past few years is the continued dominance of cash-based transactions. According to the Philippines’ central bank, cash accounted for 99% of all local transactions as of January 2018. In addition, with the Philippines being an archipelago of more than 7,600 islands, logistics naturally presents a challenge you will have to prepare for when serving customers in this country. Consumers living in the sprawling capital of Metro Manila enjoy access to huge shopping malls, flagship brick-and-mortar stores, and even quick delivery from large marketplaces like Lazada and Shopee. Moreover, the Philippines have one of the slowest and most expensive internet connections in Southeast Asia. 87% of Filipino merchants sell products on social media. Facebook also drives traffic and engagement on Lazada, Shopee, and Zalora.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Philippines E-Commerce Logistics Market: COVID-19 has positively impacted the growth of the e-commerce market in the Philippines. Lockdowns and quarantines have reduced people's mobility, with traffic plunging by as much as 80% in the Philippines. Lockdowns have increased online consumer activity, with the sector’s top players witnessing an increase of more than 2 to 3 million visits a month on apps and websites. E-commerce platform Lazada, Alibaba’s most high-profile and costliest investment outside China, had 30.74 million visits per month in the 2nd quarter of 2020, an increase of 3.98 million visits from the 1st Qtr of this year which saw 26.76 million visits per month. Fashion e-commerce sites have taken the biggest hit region-wide as clothing and apparel become less of a priority while people are staying home. However, visits to sites selling electronics goods, however, have increased by 59% in 3rd Qtr of 2020. The Philippines is known to survive with cash-based transactions and brick-and-mortar stores, but perhaps the rising trend of online shopping in the country due to Covid-19 will allow the country’s digital world to catch up to its more developed Southeast Asian neighbors. This trend will see e-commerce players continue to grow and present potential opportunities for emerging local merchants.

Analysts at Ken Research in their latest publication “Philippines E-Commerce Logistics Market Outlook to 2025 - Driven by Growth in Internet Penetration along with Introduction of New Age Technologies by Logistics Players” observed that the e-commerce and e-commerce logistics market in the Philippines has a great potential to grow supported by emerging e-commerce players in the country. The covid-19 outbreak has further accentuated the growth of the market by shifting major retailers to online platforms for sustenance in the market. Philippines E-Commerce Logistics Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 29.0% on the basis of the number of shipments delivered over the forecast period 2020-2025.
