E-commerce is seeing rapid growth, with the Asia Pacific region holding the largest share of the global B2C and retail e-commerce market. It is expected to account for nearly two-thirds of the worldwide total by 2025. The shopping season extends from months before Christmas through to Lunar New Year in 2025.
In anticipation of increased demand, FedEx offers shipping tips to help businesses and consumers during this festive period. "Early Planning is Key" suggests that avoiding last-minute surprises benefits everyone, as high demand can affect delivery times. Businesses should inform customers about last-order and final shipping dates to manage expectations. Consumers are encouraged to track shipping deadlines to ensure timely delivery.
The company emphasizes "Think Fast and Flexible," noting that shoppers expect quick and adaptable delivery services. Businesses can use solutions like FedEx® International Connect Plus (FICP) for cost-effective shipping between APAC, the U.S., and Europe within one to three business days. Flexible delivery options such as FedEx pickup locations add convenience for consumers.
