Top 10 Taiwon online shopping sites/apps

COVID-19 has given a modest boost to the top online shopping sites in Taiwan, top Taiwan marketplaces, with platforms such as Momo, PChome, and Shopee strengthening their market positions. In a world struggling with the coronavirus pandemic, Taiwan is an outlier. The island nation has staved off the mercurial contagion, with dramatic implications for public health and the economy.

One of the biggest business stories of the past year has been the abrupt shift in many countries from physical to online retail. For instance, the e-commerce market in the U.S. grew 44% in 2020 while in Indonesia it expanded by 37%. Physical retailers have been the losers in many cases, as the new shopping habits are here to stay.

Taiwan’s e-commerce market (pure online platforms) in 2020 grew at a comparably modest pace of 16.2% to reach NT$241.2 billion (about US$8.6 billion), according to Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) data. That growth was consistent with the double-digit expansion of recent years, notes Emily Leung, a Hong Kong-based analyst at market research provider Euromonitor. “Taiwan’s e-commerce market has been growing steadily, but not as strongly as elsewhere in Asia where there has been a larger shift from offline to online,” she says.
