HK TECH VENTURE (01137) announced that Hong Kong's e-commerce business showed a significant rebound in January 2026, following a consistent seasonal slowdown in December 2025. The average daily order total merchandise transaction value increased by 13.9% per month to 23.8 million Hong Kong dollars (December 2025: 20.9 million Hong Kong dollars), driving the monthly order total merchandise transaction value to 739 million Hong Kong dollars (December 2025: 649 million Hong Kong dollars). The number of unique customers increased by 6.1% to 640,000 (December 2025: 603,000), while the number of active unique devices per month remained stable at 1.563 million (December 2025: 1.572 million). The recovery was mainly driven by post-holiday consumer demand, which may have been supported by a decrease of about 9.6% in the number of local residents traveling overseas per month and was complemented by early consumption ahead of the Lunar New Year.
