2. Current situation of Pakistan market

According to the survey, Pakistan has a population of about 200 million, of which about 100 million are under the age of 35. The huge population means a market with unlimited potential and a steady supply of labor. Previously, Pakistan's Internet penetration rate and smartphone penetration rate were not high, and payment channels and logistics distribution were also backward. More than 90% of consumers paid in cash. It can be seen that Pakistan's mobile payment market is still in its early stages of development and has great development potential.

In recent years, Pakistan's Internet coverage has increased significantly. As of now, its Internet users have increased to 56 million, and the use of smartphones has also increased significantly to 70%. According to statistics, the total value of Pakistan's e-commerce industry was US$100 million in 2016; and in the next five years, this value will continue to rise, and by 2020 the industry scale will exceed US$1 billion.
