EXPORTS TO CHINA VIA E-COMMERCE

Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) is encouraging Malaysian exporters to enhance market access into China market through the e-commerce platform. The China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) forecasts that China will have 380 million online shoppers by 2016 and Online Business module will served as an integral component of marketing and selling in China.

Last year, Alibaba Group, which owns Tmall and Taobao, controlled 80 percent of China’s e-commerce market and sold more goods than eBay and Amazon combined. Their online retail revenue reached over USD 200 billion (RM648.5 billion) in 2012. According to Trade Commissioner of MATRADE Shanghai, Mansor Shah Wahid, “Malaysian companies will have greater opportunities to tap into China market via e-commerce and should also leverage on MATRADE’s new initiative through eTrade programme with Alibaba to promote their products”.

“In China, online shopping penetration rates are highest in clothes, accessories, shoes & hats, cases & bags categories, followed by household, cosmetics and personal care products”, he added.

In 2013, China has 618 million internet users and 500 million of them are also mobile internet users. Surfing the internet with mobile phones are driving the growth of internet users in China and according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China has a total of 302 million online shoppers in 2013 and the number will continue to grow rapidly.

Much effort has been made by MyIPO to raise awareness through dialogues, seminars and conferences on the IP marketplace and IP valuation in general amongst the general public.

As part of the drive towards a more knowledge-based economy initiated by the government, MyIPO has launched a pilot IP marketplace portal in July, which may be found at http://iprmarketplace.com.my/. MyIPO describes the IP marketplace portal as a platform to connect IP owners to businesses and investors and expand market access to global IP marketplaces.

IP MARKETPLACEAmongst the stakeholders, the IP marketplace would be a suitable avenue for small and medium enterprises who may otherwise find it difficult to market their intellectual property and expand their businesses.

The idea of an IP marketplace is not novel and has been seen in more developed jurisdictions such as the United States and certain parts of Europe, where private trading of IP between owners and buyers has gradually shifted towards a more public one, allowing intellectual property to be listed on a public platform, which is available for viewing by potential buyers and investors.
