Singapore -- International e-commerce Market Size:
The worldwide Internet population is surging year by year, and ongoing improvements in the functionality of websites and in international shipping services (as wells as increasing acceptance of a variety of different online payment methods) has enabled people in many countries to buy with confidence products from any other country at extremely low prices. Consumers receive same high-quality levels that they expect from brick-and-mortar stores. E-commerce has is experiencing explosive growth in every region of the world. Total worldwide revenue for international e-commerce in 2016 was US$400 billion, and it is projected to reach US$994 billion by 2020 as shown on this chart: https://ico.arium.shop/assets/img/top/market_size.png .
Hurdles: Language barrier and international shipment tracking limitations:
Until now there were three main hurdles preventing sellers from offering their products to buyers outside their home countries, forcing even major websites like Amazon to restrict many of their items to domestic sales only. These are:
1. Logistics
Developed countries like the U.S. and Japan have advanced logistical infrastructure, and packages are generally delivered in pristine condition by the specified date. In developing countries however, sellers are inundated daily with customer complaints over late, lost and damaged shipments. Shipping some items internationally requires special precautions and packaging methods, and some types of products are declined entirely by international shipping services despite the products being legal to sell in both the origin and destination countries.
2. Language Barrier
If the product to be sold internationally is well-known in the target country, it may be possible to sell it there without any translation at all, but for lesser-known products it is necessary to effectively communicate the utility and safety of the product in the target language. There are automatic translation systems with a high degree of technical accuracy, but it is difficult for the seller to know whether the translation maintains the original nuance. Sellers can hire manual translators, but with current technology they need to limit the number of countries that they deal with due to the impossibility of managing and paying for translators for every language in the world.
3. International Advertising
Sellers may be familiar enough with their local market to effectively promote their products, but the most effective phraseology to communicate the utility of the product varies wildly depending on the target audience, and sellers need to adapt the wording of their advertising copy to suit the values and customs of the target country. Sellers can hire experts familiar with the target country, but this again results in limiting the number of countries that they deal with due to the impossibility of managing and paying for experts specializing in each country in the world.

arium is the world's first international e-commerce platform that offers a complete package of webpage development, translation, advertising, fulfillment services and international shipping, all performed in-house on a one-stop basis, with no startup costs and zero initial monthly fees.
arium's algorithms automatically solve all the hurdles involved in international e-commerce.

* The initial release supports selling from Japan to other countries, and as development continues, support will be added for selling from any country to any other country.

Almost any imaginable payment method can be implemented on the seller's customized checkout page. The basic plan supports credit card and PayPal payments, and as an optional extra the sellers can add cash-on-delivery, payment at convenience stores in the buyer's home country, WeChat Pay and Alipay.

arium also assists with international advertising of the sellers' products. Special & Pleasant Pte. Ltd. has extensive experience in international e-commerce operations; the company will leverage that know-how to conduct sales promotion activities in the target countries.
