Iran e-commerce rate hits single digit
December 25, The Iran Project Following the launch of3G and 4G servicesin Iran and the nationwide access to them, the Islamic Republic of Iran is now among the top 10 countries in Asia and Pacific in the field of e-commerce.

According to the statistics, by 2013, Iran ranked 69 among 70 countries in the digital economy so it can be concluded that no serious action was taken for e-commerce-based businesses.

Thus, according to B2C E-Commerce Index 2016 calculated by UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development), Iran is ranked 77 among the top 10 countries in Asia and Pacific.

Based on the global statistics and considering the volume of e-commerce,in early 2013and before the launch of3G and 4G services, Iran ranked 100th in the field of e-commerce.
