希尼爾翻譯公司（www.marshallsfreshproduce.com）2016年5月4日了解到：IKEA Group, the Swedish self-assembly budget furniture chain, is joining a growing number of multinational retailers aiming to tap China’s online market.

來自瑞典的自組裝平價家具連鎖宜家集團，也加入了國際零售商線入駐中國網絡市場的隊伍。

The company will start a pilot project in the second half of 2016 in some cities where it already has physical stores, Xu Lide, the public relations manager with IKEA China, told the Global Times Tuesday.

該公司將在2016年下半年開始在一些已經擁有實體店的城市實行該試點項目，宜家中國公關經理許麗德于周二告訴《環(huán)球時報》。

She declined to identify the cities.

她拒絕確認項目的城市。

Before the company enters more second- and third-tier cities in China, "we hope we can let consumers enjoy IKEA’s products anywhere and at any time via various channels," said Xu.

在該公司進入更多的中國二，三線城市之前，“我們希望能夠讓消費者能在任何地方，任何時間，通過各種渠道享受到宜家的產品，” 許麗德說。

"E-commerce is a very good complement to IKEA’s [traditional] sales channel," Xu noted.

“對于宜家[傳統(tǒng)]的銷售渠道，電子商務是一個很好的補充，”許麗徳說。

The world’s biggest furniture retailer opened 13 stores around the world in the year ended August 31, 2015. Three of those were located in China’s second-tier cities - Hangzhou, Wuhan, and Xi’an.

截止到2015年8月31日，這一年，這個世界最大的家具零售商在世界各地開了13家門店，其中三家分別位于中國的二線城市——杭州，武漢和西安。

Traditional retailers have been rushing into China’s e-commerce market this year. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, e-commerce transactions accounted for 10.6 percent of first-quarter retail sales, which stood at 7.8 trillion yuan ($1.2 trillion).

傳統(tǒng)的零售商今年已經沖進中國的電子商務市場。據(jù)國家統(tǒng)計局統(tǒng)計，電子商務交易額占第一季度零售額10.6％，為7.8萬億元。

"Supermarket chains like Wal-Mart Inc and Carrefour missed a window of opportunity to tap China’s online market, but it is not too late for IKEA because people in China are just accustomed to buying furniture online," Yan Qiang, a partner with Beijing Hejun Consulting, told the Global Times on Tuesday.

“連鎖超市如沃爾瑪公司和家樂福錯過了占領中國線上市場的機會，但對于宜家來說還為時不晚，因為中國人都只是習慣于在網上購買家具，”北京和君咨詢公司的合作伙伴閆強周二告訴《環(huán)球時報》。

A report issued by Shanghai-based data analysis agency CBNData in March showed that online home furnishing sales in 2015 were up 230 percent from 2013.

總部位于上海的數(shù)據(jù)分析機構CBNData在三月份發(fā)布的一份報告顯示，2015年網上家居銷量比2013年增長了230％。

IKEA may face competition from furniture retailers on tmall.com, the business-to-consumer site of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding, offering low-cost goods and free delivery service, Yan said.

宜家可能面臨來自天貓的競爭，這個由電子商務巨頭阿里巴巴集團控股的企業(yè)對消費者網站，提供低成本的商品和免費送貨服務，閆強說。來源:環(huán)球時報
