B2C E-COMMERCE IN CENTRAL ASIA AND CAUCASUS HAS AN
UNTAPPED POTENTIAL
B2C E-Commerce is only starting to evolve in the Central Asia and Caucasus region.
Internet penetration is below 50% in the majority of its countries, with the exception of Azerbaijan
and Kazakhstan, and access to financial services reaches over half of the population in Kazakhstan
only. However, as the report by yStats.com shows, as infrastructure improves and Internet
penetration increases, B2C E-Commerce in the countries of Central Asia and Caucasus could grow
as well.
Kazakhstan is a regional leader in B2C E-Commerce, though there, too, online retail has
much room for growth. B2C E-Commerce accounted for below 2% of total retail sales in
Kazakhstan last year, but online retail is predicted to maintain high double-digit growth rates.
Online shoppers in Kazakhstan are motivated to engage in E-Commerce as a result of wide
product selection, convenience and low prices, as yStats.com’s report shows. Cross-border B2C E-
Commerce is a significant trend, as foreign online shops account for the largest share of online
sales. Of the top five online retailers by sales in 2014, three were based in foreign countries.
However, as local offering is improving, online retailers from Kazakhstan, such as Arena S and
Chocofamily Holding, increase their share.
Another country with rapid B2C E-Commerce growth is Azerbaijan, according to
yStats.com’s findings. In the first seven months of 2015, online retail sales in Azerbaijan already
exceeded the total number for the full year 2014. Still, B2C E-Commerce’s share of total retail sales
was less than 1% last year. The driving force behind both Internet usage and online shopping
growth is the population under 25 years old, accounting for close to half of all Internet users. Of
them, a small double digit share shopped online in early 2015, preferring international platforms
such as eBay.
The details in the yStats.com report reflect the untapped potential for B2C E-Commerce in
the rest of the region. In countries such as Georgia and Armenia Internet penetration has
significantly improved, getting closer to the 50% mark. In Uzbekistan, the most populous country in
the region, Internet penetration is driven by mobile technology. Across these markets, international
players such as Aliexpress.com, eBay.com, and Amazon.com beat local shopping websites in
popularity. However, local players have gathered a significant audience on social networks,
especially Facebook. Overall, as Internet penetration and infrastructure for delivery and payment
improves, B2C E-Commerce in these countries is expected to grow further.

GENERAL METHODOLOGY OF OUR MARKET REPORTS The reports are compiled based on secondary market
research. Secondary research is information gathered from
previously published sources. Our reports are solely based on
information and data acquired from national and international
statistical offices, industry and trade associations, business
reports, business and company databases, journals, company
registries, news portals and many other reliable sources. By using
various sources we ensure maximum objectivity for all obtained
data. As a result, companies gain a precise and unbiased
impression of the market situation.
Cross referencing of data is conducted in order to
ensure validity and reliability.
The source of information and its release date are
provided on every chart. It is possible that the information
contained in one chart is derived from several sources. If this is
the case, all sources are mentioned on the chart.
The reports take into account a broad definition of B2C
E-Commerce, which might include mobile commerce. As
definitions may vary among sources, exact definition used by the
source (if available) is included at the bottom of the chart.
Our reports include text charts, pie charts, bar charts,
rankings, line graphs and tables. Every chart contains an Action
Title, which summarizes the main idea/finding of the chart and a
Sub Title, which provides necessary information about the
country, the topic, units or measures of currency, and the
applicable time period(s) to which the data refers. With respect to
rankings, it is possible that the summation of all categories
amounts to more than 100%. In this case, multiple answers were
possible, which is noted at the bottom of the chart.
Reports are comprised of the following elements, in the
following order: Cover page, preface, legal notice, methodology,
definitions, table of contents, management summary
(summarizing main information contained in each section of
report) and report content (divided into sections and chapters).
When available, we also include forecasts in our report content.
These forecasts are not our own; they are published by reliable
sources. Within Global and Regional reports, we include all major
developed and emerging markets, ranked in order of importance
by using evaluative criteria such as sales figures.
If available, additional information about the data
collection, for example the time of survey and number of people
surveyed, is provided in the form of a note. In some cases, the
note (also) contains additional information needed to fully
understand the contents of the respective data.
When providing information about amounts of money,
local currencies are most often used. When referencing currency
values in the Action Title, the EUR values are also provided in
brackets. The conversions are always made using the average
currency exchange rate for the respective time period. Should the
currency figure be in the future, the average exchange rate of the
past 12 months is used.
The reports include mainly data from the last 12 months
prior to the date of report publication. Exact publication dates are
mentioned in every chart.
METHODOLOGY OF OUR CENTRAL ASIA & CAUCASUS B2C E-COMMERCE MARKET 2015 REPORT This report covers the B2C E-Commerce market in
Central Asia and Caucasus.
The regional chapter opens the report, including
regional comparisons that concern criteria related to B2C E-
Commerce, such as Internet and financial services penetration.
The rest of the report is divided by sub-regions and then
by countries. In each sub-region, the countries are presented in
the order of descending B2C E-Commerce sales. Where no
comparative sales were available, other relevant criteria were
applied to determine the order, such as Internet penetration.
Each country chapter starts with an overview of
development of B2C E-Commerce in the respective country with
international comparisons.
Following that, information about trends, sales & shares,
users & shoppers, products, payment, delivery and players is
presented, where available. Due to varying data availability some
of these sections may not be covered for certain countries.
The “Trends” section generally provides an overview of
the related market trends, such as mobile Internet penetration
and the devices used to access the Internet.
The section “Sales & Shares” includes the development
of B2C E-Commerce sales, including historical sales and forecasts,
where available. Furthermore, this section shows information
about B2C E-Commerce’s share of the total retail market. Related
numbers, such as total sales of E-Commerce companies and the
value of online purchases per shopper are used where no
information about actual B2C E-Commerce sales was available.
In the “Users & Shoppers” section, a review of the
development of Internet penetration is included. Where available,
a ranking of online activities of Internet users, including online
shopping, is provided.
Afterwards, the section “Products” shows the leading
product categories purchased online. This information is available
only for one country.
The next two sections, “Payment” and “Delivery”, cover
information related to delivery and payment methods most used
by online shoppers, where available. With regard to payment, data
on online payment transactions with bank cards, such as number
and value of transaction, is included if available.
Finally, the “Players” section includes information about
the leading E-Commerce players, based on criteria such as sales,
website rank and popularity in social networks, depending on
