Lazada is pulling away from the rest
Lazada has more than 3 times traffic than its closest competitor, 11street, who has just overtook Lelong for the #2 rank.
Surprisingly, we have recorded that the local eBay site doubles its traffic from 2015 to 2016. Most of the top e-commerce websites have increased their traffic over the year.
Missing out from the original 2015 list are Rakuten and Ensogo, who have both ceased their operation here. Gemfive is the new entrance here who shoots up to the #5 rank but it seems that its traffic quality is quite poor if we refer to its time on site, page views and bounce rate.
Another new site on the list is Shoppe at #7, which by contrast enjoys much higher quality of visiting traffic.
