E-Commerce Fee Adjustments: Building a Fairer Marketplace
Online shopping has become a national pastime, with Malaysia's e-commerce revenue reaching RM1 trillion in 2021 and expected to soar to RM1.65 trillion by 2025.
According to Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, the sector's momentum hasn't slowed down, with revenue climbing from RM1.13 trillion in 2022 to RM1.22 trillion in 2024.
If those extra fees help build stronger, fairer, and more innovative platforms that support Malaysian sellers, then it’s not just a cost, it’s an investment in the nation’s digital future.
The growth is driven by both local buyers and international demand, making e-commerce a significant contributor to the nation's digital economy.
