UMKA

UMKA is one of the largest online shopping websites for Chinese products in the Russian-speaking region.

Russian Market Overview

In 2016, the scale of Russia’s cross-border e-commerce reached 3 billion US dollars, of which 30% came from China. In addition, Russia also radiates to Eastern European Russian-speaking countries with a population of more than 350 million.

In 2016, local e-commerce in Russia accounted for 78% of the total, reaching 10.9 billion US dollars, but few e-commerce companies are involved in this area. As Russia's light industry is seriously underdeveloped, light industrial products produced in China have a strong appeal to Russian consumers because of their favorable prices and excellent quality. 3C products, household goods, auto parts, tools, maternal and child products, etc. are more popular.

Russia has a land area of ​​17.1251 million square kilometers and spans 11 geographical time zones from east to west, making cross-border logistics and delivery difficult. Cross-border e-commerce companies need to launch a variety of delivery options for consumers to choose from, such as local fast delivery and free delivery, as well as home delivery or local delivery points.
