Quarterly PayPal penetration, online or offline, in China 2021-2024
PayPal adoption for online shopping in China was lower in 2024 than it was in early 2021, although it remained a popular solution for consumers. This is according to two different questions asked throughout multiple surveys from Statista's Consumer Insights. The numbers shown here refer to the share of respondents who indicated they used PayPal in the last 12 months, either for POS transactions with a mobile device in stores and restaurants or for online shopping. None of the respondents from China indicated they had used PayPal in a POS setting between April 2022 and March 2023 - with an additional one out of 10 saying they used PayPal during this same time for online payments.
