Even with less bullish economic growth, China remains impossible for retailers to ignore. Retail sales in the world's most populous country increased by 13 percent in 2013 to $2.6 trillion. Looking ahead, urbanization, increasing disposable incomes, and loosening of the family planning policy are expected to fuel future growth.
China's e-commerce market is growing significantly and now accounts for eight percent of all retail.
