BEIJING, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- Thirteen minutes after touching a screen, a buyer surnamed Huang in Foshan City, south China's Guangdong Province, received the juicer he ordered on China's largest e-commerce platform Alibaba, the first parcel delivered on the platform on this year's Singles' Day shopping spree.
Huang is one of the hundreds of thousands consumers staying up all night for online bargains on Singles' Day, China's annual online shopping fiesta.
As orders keep pouring in, sales on major e-commerce platforms across China quickly broke last year's records.
The first 10 billion yuan (1.47 billion U.S. dollars) was achieved in just six minutes 58 seconds on Alibaba, almost six minutes faster than last year. Just before 3:20 p.m., the number had surpassed 91.2 billion, the whole-day sales volume for last year.
Other online platforms such as JD, Gome, and Suning all exceeded previous records in the first few hours.
Seen by many as China's answer to Black Friday in the United States, Singles' Day has grown into a huge battle for market share among Chinese e-commerce companies.
The born-in-China shopping spree has now spread its name worldwide, with Alipay, China's largest online payment platform, now available in over 200 countries and regions, supporting transactions in 18 currencies.
Hu Bingjie, 22, read the message, among many online queries, as it came in. "Can you speak English?"
A buyer in Thailand had ordered 25 items of childrens clothing from Hu's store and was poised to pay a 355 yuan delivery fee, but wanted to pay cash on delivery instead.
"If you want direct delivery you have to pay in advance," Hu replied, using a translator.
While overseas consumers are getting more skilled at digging for bargains on Chinese websites, domestic shoppers enjoy a wider variety of foreign produce thanks to the publicity of Singles' Day in overseas media.
This year, JD has worked with global supermarket chain Walmart to offer Chinese buyers quality overseas products. It has also inked partnership with Japanese logistics firm Yamato to speed up cross-border delivery.
At this year's G20 meeting, Alibaba forged collaboration with Canadian and Russian companies to expand its presence overseas. It also invested in Singapore Post to target consumers in Southeast Asia.
With easier access to overseas products, it is estimated that China's e-commerce market still has room to grow.
According to Internet industry research agency iResearch, China's online shopping market's sales volume was 1.1 trillion yuan in the second quarter, up 27.6 percent year on year. It is estimated the volume will exceed 1.5 trillion in the fourth quarter.
"E-commerce is leading the change in the global market," said Wang Jian, professor at the University of International Business and Economics. "The flow of global commodities through online purchases can help awaken the consumer market, which is good for the global retail industry."
