“Smart is thrilled to partner with the country’s leading lifestyle portal, Zalora, in supporting the endeavor of bringing the full mobile Internet experience closer to the hands of more Filipinos. This is part of our mission to allowing our subscribers to ‘live more’ by democratizing access to mobile data through our innovative mobile Internet products and service offerings,” added Michele Curran, FVP for Data and International Services at Smart.

Paulo Campos, Managing Director of ZALORA Philippines, said, “The Philippines is one of the world’s fastest-growing internet markets. With fellow digital pioneers like our industry and e-commerce partners empowering users through connectivity and an incredible range of digital services and offerings, the Philippines has rapidly evolved in to one of the most socially connected countries in the world. As a leader in the industry, ZALORA Philippines is committed to helping Filipino e-commerce reach new heights in 2015.”

Asia-Pacific is set to become the next top e-commerce market slowly overtaking both America and Europe combined, and the Philippines is poised to be one of the most promising markets across South- East Asia. With varied economies across a diverse region, payment infrastructures and misconceptions about online shopping continue to be a challenge. However, a recent UBS study shows that more consumers all over the region are starting to flock to e-commerce sites in significant numbers – showing that consumers are visiting online retailers 41 times for every single visit to traditional retailers. While online shopping in Southeast Asia only accounts for 0.2 percent of all retail sales today, a rises to 5 percent in sales would give online shopping a value of around US$21.8 billion.
