Govt expects e-commerce value to hit Bt1 tn by 2016 The value of e-commerce in Thailand is expected to reach Bt1 trillion by 2016 as online trading, both business-to-business and business-to-customer, expands, according to the Business Development Department. Whichai Phochanakij, deputy director-general of the department, said e-commerce would grow by about 20 per cent a year as more people surf the Internet. Local companies, thus, should focus more on electronic trading to capture more customers in the domestic and overseas markets. To encourage more trade online, the department has cooperated with 10 agencies including Thailand Post, financial institutes, the Thai E-Commerce Association, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand to organise a Thailand Online Mega Sale, running from yesterday until December 30. nationmultimedia/business/Govt-expects-e-commerce-value-to-hit-Bt1-tn-by-201-30249877.html
