This collaboration provides Asendia with the ability to offer ecommerce merchants access to a global market of 294 million prospective online buyers in 30 countries.

According to data provided by Asenida compiled from Statista, the company predicts that ecommerce revenue in the nine countries in Central Asia and the Caucasus regions will continue to grow and reach $15 billion by 2025.
